Twilight in Hendy Woods - Larry Robinson

[Larry Robinson]

Twilight in Hendy Woods

This is the hour of magic
When this world and the other world 
Touch in a lingering kiss
And a deep stillness settles over all things.

This is the hour of magic 
When the Earth, 
For one eternal moment, holds its breath 
Before turning from the sun.

This is the hour of magic
When, if you listen
With an open heart and a quiet mind,
You can hear the Ancient Ones, the elders of the forest

Telling the old stories:
Of the chainsaw massacres and the fires;
Of the great ice ages and the birth of continents;
Of the times long past when they were many and covered the Earth.

They are leaving us now.
When they are gone,
Who will tell these stories?

	- Larry Robinson
