Sometimes I don't really start with a prompt. Sometimes a walk after a rain is all it takes.
Lyrics
Woodland Wandering
Jemma Kline
Gentle drumming on the ground,
Raindrops at my feet.
Pick the berries that I’ve found,
Taste them, bittersweet.
Woodland wandering,
In the first light.
Woodbines woven,
Strong and tight.
Woodland wandering,
By the lakeside,
Willows watching,
As I cry.
Crows are watching, keeping guard,
Till they soar away.
Flowers opened in the dark,
Hiding through the day.
Woodland wandering,
In the first light.
Woodbines woven,
Strong and tight.
Woodland wandering,
By the lakeside,
Willows watching,
As I cry.
Now my tears are softly falling with the rhythm of my soul,
And I’ll taste both joy and sorrow through the years.
For I chose to fly away from all the lies that I’d been told,
And my colors show the truth that others fear.
Woodland wandering,
In the first light.
Woodbines woven,
Strong and tight.
Woodland wandering,
By the lakeside,
Willows watching,
As I cry.
The end of the chorus is an interesting image: the willows aren't explicitly weeping. I wonder if they are unsympathetic or perhaps taking notes.
