Rain Forrest
The forrest drips and gloves with green
The tree frog croaks his far-off song
His voice is stillness, moss and rain
Drunk from the forrest ages long
We cannot understand that call
Unless we move into his dream
Where all is one and one is all
And frog and python are the same
We with our quick dividing eyes
Measure distinguish and are gone
The forrest burns the tree frog dies
Yet one is all and all is one
