BACK TO NATURE July 14/86 Karl Rigelhof

The wind blows through the trees
Rustling the green maple leaves
In the cool/warm summer('s) breeze

Blue sky bursts through the green
Filtering down shafts of sunlight streams/beams
In a hot/cold lover's/s' dream(s)

The sound carries along/on the wind
Signalling the night/day/fray to begin
In the dark (of the) evening('s) sin

Star speckled/spangled (the) heavens spin
Swirling around my/(y)our/the thought(s) within
In a bright searing whim(/)
A brilliant/burning idea fading thin

The silence echoes (of(f)) (in(to)) the forest
Calling forth nature from/to her/its rest
In the/our heart(s) we know what's/it's best

Left alone
And forgotten
Leave it be
To die and rotten
And return
Back to nature
The past will give
Us our/the future
(Only) if our hearts remain/are pure/sure
