Carolina Piney Woods |

Come...
Walk with me in the piney woods
Winter has
been packing its goods
All here is becoming lush and
green
Signs of spring and birds nesting are seen
The
only helicopters, an occasional dragonfly
There are no
bombs falling from the sky
Just fragrant blossoms
floating down
No trenches here, dug in the ground,
just soldier ants marching around...
the birds and the
wind, the only sound
One thing above all that I hold dear
All is tranquil peace here...... in this place,
If only I
could just gather the world into here
and, would that we
could, remain in this space,
............ and forget the
war's scheming
............ become lost in Carolina
