Deep into this Life

By Steve Adam

Deep into this life we travel
    In and through the pretty glades
    To roam in grand and ancient forests
    Valleys grinning in the sun
    The Earth is smiling

    Look into the life around us
    Watch it flower, watch it grow
    Watch it like a part of us
    Just like an old and dear friend
    Is Nature calling

    We also journey in ourselves
    Through corridors of frosted glass
    Looking for our own true path
    Avoiding shadows in the dark
    To see ourselves

    This is nature too, yes all is life
    The journey may be grim and cold
    And sometimes hard as we unfold
    The petals of our lives, feel growing pains
    We too are flowering

    In spring the melting winter snow
    Reveals new life, a brand new glow
    Will burst toward the sunlight, then
    Our love for life will overflow
    A star is rising
