Green Spirit of Man

Green Spirit of Man

I am the rolling hills,
I am the vital vale;
The bliss of oceans churning,
The tone of sun unveiled.

I am the stillness of the stones,
The waking wind on plains;
The vast expanse of desert,
The forest and the rain.

I am the sacred male,
The father of the land;
I care for her, I love her,
I protect her as I can.

I am the Green Man hunting,
I am the silent eye;
I, the golden chariot,
Singing through the sky.

I am the grey clouds rising,
Spreading storms and shaking trees;
I am the rolling thunder,
I am the roaring breeze.

I am the peace of wisdom,
The care of a truthful heart;
I, the creative spirit,
The visionary, travelling far.

I am Merlin,
I am Arthur,
I am Taliesin, the bard.
I am the sacred man.
I am who I am,
I honour Nature's plan.

The tune that I get for it is not unlike My Country, by Dorothea Mackellar, a well known Australian poem. :sun:

I like the images and the thoughts that go with them, a simple poem that reaches inward, well done.
