time turns in the trees
twisting sticks and clicks
as if pendulums swaying
below old oaken clocks
light and shadow are playing
and making a scene
young rivers cascading
over pebbles and rocks
forest floor saturating
in all shades of green
we run and we play
a unique paradox
steal moments together
lie down in the heather
in this grove we will stay
steady wolf – clever fox
