Where is this place?
You stand in a field of green
Amongst primitive plants not previously seen
Bending as the wind strongly blows
But swamp, not fresh, smells fill your nose.
False hope of cool comes as leaves rustle in your ears
But hope of relief dies as the hot wind sears
Your skin prickles in the damp heat
And the earth smells fetid, just like peat.
The wind dies, leaving behind heat and damp
All around the bamboo smells green and rank
Your feet sink into the sodden ground
And lush plant perfume is all around.
In the hot quiet the ancient tree ferns towards you reach
Almost appearing to plead and beseech
Hoping to embrace you for evermore
To sink with them to the forest floor.
The heat, the damp, the still, oppressive jungle air
The natural beauty that is everywhere
What is this green and fascinating place?
Where is it found in time and space?
Its a very seductive computer game
And Vintage Story is its name.
