we destroyed the forest to trade for a cleaner field
and saw the sunshine crash without protection
I've been dreaming deeply,
with vivid, mind-altering recollection

and wonder if you know.

the seeds took soon after being sowed
and the creek watered each well placed plow.
there are thoughts I have through out each day
and you remain primary and proud.

but you're not that seed within my garden
I can't protect you from the sun
or ensure your roots from coming undone
but I am a farmer that loves this land

and the wild it can bring.
