Hm. Nes - Shadows of Trees Dancing

Shadows of trees dancing
Always dancing
All along the path
Constantly moving
But never traveling
Down the path or up it.
Shadows are bound to the shapes that make them
Like the trees that cast them.

Shadows of trees dancing
Always dancing
But never moving along the path
Like the path itself
Though it winds so far
From village to village
And back again.
The path only dances
Always dances
But never moves along.

Only the man
Moving in and out of the dancing shadows
Moving up and down the dancing path
Only the man
Moving along
Always moving along
Often forgets to dance.
