Forest Bells -------------- Beyond the peaks where tall hills rise The sky comes down to kiss the land The fairies cross the sleeping skies On pathways no one else has planned Among the ferns they laugh and play Their revels lighting up the way On soft moss under ancient oaks The forest bells ring soft and low Their singing fills the trees like smoke With fragrant air wherever they go Before the early dawn arrives They scatter off into the skies Each little star above the earth Is sister, compass, trusted friend They carry dreams of joy and worth On torches lit that will not bend They watch the paths that time forgot In every dark and shadowed spot When morning's rooster starts to call They vanish fast, like fading dreams Their wings cast shadows on it all The magic fades, or so it seems The forest bells ring soft and low With fragrant air wherever they go Just dew that rests on open grass Just herb-scent left as hours pass --- "Forest Bells" Copyright © 2026 Rick n' Stolti.
