In the trees
Anthony Van Nus 2006 (Oregon)
In the trees, I find a dark forest,
To the evils I’m an unwanted tourist.
The monsters pounce and attack, but I am brave.
I hold my blade high and send them to their grave.
In the trees I find a joyous grotto,
A man sits beneath a tree and plays a bongo.
I tip him a coin of gold,
And he sings me tales of old.
In the trees I find an orchard of apples,
I lay down and hear the bells of chapels.
The apples are so crisp and crunch,
I pull out my basket, here I’ll have my lunch.
