Ever Hidden Jewels — version 1

Christian

Ever hidden jewels in caverns
Lie the deepest thoughts of Man
Where peace and love are always stirring
Never near mortal demands

A place of calm and deepest refuge
A place unfettered like the sea
Always stirring pure emotions
Setting every captive free

Like the waves e’er pushing forward
Or the leaves in autumn trees
Freeing man from his addictions
A place where every demon flees

Back and forth with branches swaying
A breeze it sweeps upon the leaves
Bringing man to stations higher
Than at first he did believe

Touching first the ruffled feather
Of rested birds within their nests
Then stripping through the thickened treetops
Bringing leaves, autumnal rest

Gently stirring garden blossoms
Harshly pulling tidal seas
Taking man to places heavenly
Than he could e'er first believe
