Magic Woods
A long time ago, while delivering mail
I stumbled upon an unshaved forest ranger.
He looked at a map pinned to stark naked wall
Here is what I recall:
He told me about a place called Taiga
And how it frets, craving human attendance.
Post office was closed and I knew what to do
I was on my way to the true independence.
Clouds are hiding in the sky,
Stars are woozy from being high.
In the wild of this magic woods
They will fall and die.
Shivery tails of the gigantic trees -
White lullabies of a nightmarish winter.
Cold fairy tales that are darker than snow.
While they are told – nothing will grow.
Later at night blizzards walk through the woods,
Gathering souls that have not yet been frozen.
Winter and forest are needing new foods
They will get those who’ve been chosen.
They will get you, you’ve been chosen!
Clouds are hiding in the sky,
Stars are woozy from being high.
In the wild of this magic woods
They will fall and die.
