The Green Realm

Barely seen with broken branches and tall grass
A forest floor, a perfectly pristine forest, so vast
This is a land that is living, primal, verdant and
A knight rides on a steed, into the murk, staring
The forest bursts with energy, inside the paradise
There beings live while tending massive gardens
Other act as sentries of a realm outside of human
A living place, with scent, sound, sight and dream
A fecund place, here truly is a miraculous earth
Where an ancient dragon lives, and gently rules
It is wise, and is now watching and waiting
Preventing humans and their kin from entering
Being outside of time, she majestically rules
This is a hidden and timeless living world
Instinctively, humans know they're forbidden
All human lands, human ways and walls
Lead to destruction, decay and damnation
Yes, the knight rides safely but he knows
Somehow he knows there's danger there
In the center of this lavish paradise of life
Yes, an ever living sanctuary ever grows
The ancient Forest Dragon waits
