I passed it by but took some notes
Of the strange and odd tall stone posts;
They led a trail down to a wood
Where a lonely cabin stood.
Inside the cabin a boiler sat
Cold and still that metal vat;
By the door a small safe hung
Which could not by me be sprung;
I left and turned and stared so long
To see a tree as one from song;
It grew so tall it touched the sky
And there I gaped and wondered WHY?
This was a marvel certainly
But leave I did into the trees;
Down stairs into a bunker deep
Where a vast generator did sleep;
Buttons there long disused
As of their function I stood and mused;
Leaving more lost than I had come
Back to the forest and into the sun.
