Voices From the Forest Music and Poetry

Text and music by Rick McVicar

Voices I hear travel through a dense forest

 To reach my ears,

 Echoing the sound of screeching owls.

 Deer frantically run into a clearing. 

A lion roars words into my world.

 A deep resonating voice 

Tells me I’ve been chosen 

To mimic the Christ

 And save all humankind. 

With line after line 

Full of words that rhyme 

With a little giggle here and there. 

Remember to abundantly care.

 A hawk flies overhead

 Warning me not to forget 

Every word the lion said. 

The hawk will deliver the rhymes every day, 

Just write down the words he will say.
