Inspired by “Passionflower” by Jon Gomm

A mighty forest ancient so

Where a stranger rushing wind might blow

Where to clouds of paradise do show

There you’ll find the Lesovick

Where there’s an angry thunderstorm

Where lightning crimson red is born

And into green the sky is torn

There you’ll see the Lesovick

Where creatures live in trees perched high

And sparrows, size of stallions fly

Where sprites do sleep and faeries lie

All bow to the Lesovick

His body old as the turning Earth                                                

Of colossal size and fantastic girth

Protecting all life from budding birth

King of the forest, Lesovick

A healthy green his body be

Bark for skin, his skeleton tree

And a crown of branches for all to see

The lordly crown of Lesovick

His beard of vine and twigs all bent
His words like air, strong but silent

His eyes like lightning, bright and vibrant

The emerald eyes of Lesovick

Where creatures live in trees perched high

The sky is green, red light lightning flies

This guardian does keep an eye

The emerald eyes of Lesovick
