The Evergreen Book Poem
  Oh, speak of the Evergreen,
  Always heard of, never seen.
  Journey long, and end up home,
  Otherwise, forever roam
  The everlasting forest bright,
  Where golden glow defeats the night.
  Always heard of, never seen,
  You speak of the Evergreen.
  Enter young, and exit old,
  Come in weak, go out bold.
  Summers green, and winters long
  We will sing the ten year song
  Always heard of
  Found by young
  Told by all the elder tongues
  In the place yet unseen
  Open your eyes to the Evergreen
  The Evergreen, the Evergreen,
  Always heard of, never seen.
  Under branch, leaf, and shadow,
  Lurks a horrible, dreadful sorrow
  Something so dark, it is essence of Fear
  And beware, please, never go near
  Lest you trip and fall forever
  Lacking Life's untold treasure
  Mysterious paths now await
  So join me, join me at the gate
  That leads to bravery, trickery, and grief
  And also, also a great relief
  For in this place you will find
  All of society left behind
  A place to grow, a place to discover
  A place to meet one another
  So don't be afraid, don't shy away
  For many things await today
  Always heard of
  Found by young
  Told by all the elder tongues
  In the place yet unseen
  Open your eyes to the Evergreen

This poem was written as a song that people sing to their children before they are taken to the fantasy world of Whajhiem, otherwise known as the Land of the Evergreen. When I first wrote this, I had no intentions of creating a book along with it, but I became inspired later on, the more I thought about it.
