Close To Nature

I walked a path through a notion of time

Like a particle of dust in a small beam of light

Where a shape is not a shape the world is just a dream

Close to nature

I left a trace where a world lived and died

A message out of time like a pure wave of motion

And all that moves is still

Close to nature

The unity of things is the essence of truth

Though some would try to rule the universe by force

But I prefer to stay

Close to nature

I feel the pain like a thousand knives

A cancer in the soul, I am consumed

The more I try to walk

Close to nature

A flash of light, the sky erupting

My eyes are burned

I cannot bear to see the awful power

Close to nature

This is the end of the beginning

This is the death of life

And all that once did live

Close to nature
