In Colorado, a really fun thing to do is go walking in the woods on a day when the evergreen trees smell so good. Pine needles crunch under your feet, and creatures scamper off to hide as you round the bends of the trail.

When it’s warm in the summer, you can still cool off in the forest. The wind whispers through the trees, and if you lay down in the mountain grass, you might just fall asleep to the soft noises.

Now, imagine a forest full of all kinds of trees. And not just regular green trees, but trees of all colors, shapes, and sizes. Trees that can only grow in your imagination. Then imagine a few creatures that might live there…and a few things you might do and think there. And that’s where you’ll start…

Walking in the woods of wonder…
Leaping off a limb of lights…
Slipping down a secret scots pine…
Kiwi trees are flying kites.

All around are dancing aspens…
With their white and wondrous wings…
Bristling branches and sweet breezes…
Where a speckled sparrow sings.

Rainbow redwoods rake the blue sky…
Mystic music mingles in…
Dragons drift by in their dreamboats…
Lemon larkspurs live within.

Walking in the woods of wonder…
Thinking thoughts of thrilling things…
Life’s a lilac filled with lightning…
We’re all wearing water wings.
