As long as...

As long as the Sun shines,

the raindrops reach the earth, the Moon wanders across the night sky and kindles the spirit of love,

as long as the wind blows, the trees whisper wisdom, the branches sway to the gentle breeze, and the mountains breed hope,

as long as the lightning strikes and thunder splits the sky asunder,

as long as the ocean churns and the storm hits, the waves crash over the shore, and silence reigns in the depths of deep waters,

as long as the rituals of Forest are not disturbed - roaring lions, trumpeting elephants, and calling nightjars,

as long as predators and prey roam freely within the folds of the jungle,

as long as naked truth triumphs over adorned lies,

as long as humans can feel pain and joy,

as long as innocence remains the language of children, and love throbs in the heart of the youth,

as long as the fire sends the flames upwards,

as long as the fragility of life and death is honoured,

as long as the dead never wakes up,

as long as...
