Waltz of the Forest Flowers
(To Charles Lloyd)
Hiking east through a mountain wood I hear the poppy’s golden sound Butterflies start their waltz at dawn De-dot-de-da-da
De-dot-de-da-da
Ommmmmmmmmm
While puffy clouds pass over peaks I see rock wrens’ saxophone chirps Willows whirl as they breathe in psalm De-dot-de-da-da
De-dot-de-da-da
Ommmmmmmmmm
Ravenous hawk circles canyon Lazy diamondback soaks noon sun No one’s blue by this gospel song De-dot-de-da-da
De-dot-de-da-da
Ommmmmmmmmm
Funky bunny by bush ahead
sniffs afternoon leaf aperitif
All the forest hip hop along
De-dot-de-da-da
De-dot-de-da-da
Ommmmmmmmmm
Thirsty Alders on sunset banks
sip stream water through tangled roots
Everywhere there’s a dancing throng
De-dot-de-da-da
De-dot-de-da-da
Ommmmmmmmmm
