I am the Rain Forest

I am cool wetness,

I am sweet shade,

the birds lay nest in my heart

skin crawls as I cascade

Who walks within me,

they do not know

they slash my foliage

they build their home

I am the Rain Forest

My Lord is the Rain

I wash every creature

I surround every pain.

The machines around the edges,

know not what they do,

They think they can do better,

than the way my silence moves.

I house every fear,

I support every life.

I sing every song,

I shade every night.

I am the Rain Forest,

I am high and low

I am inside the creatures

who dwell below,

I rain through their pores

Drive fear to their shores

I am the Rain Forest,

lending my vines to your grip,

I am yielding yet strong,

I am in you all along.
