I saw you twice and time again
And so I know, both now and then
That light and dark can interchange
As freely as a bow can bend
As leaves can shimmer in the sun
The same as when the world began.
Green, glistening in the sun.
That’s how I know what matters, see
Our timbers move, their branches free
They do not push or pull against
The ever-changing elements.
They simply be and let time run.
Green, glistening in the sun.
