The Forest of My Being

Deep green forest,

Moss covered trees,
the silent echo of stillness,

A soft breeze carries sounds from afar,

The gentle mumur of a stream,
The swishing of branches in the wind,

Reds, purples, blues and greens,

Plants raised from the earth,
tender sprouts sheltered by trees,

Rain begins to fall,

The drizzling rain carries memories from the distant past,
Brings to life and puts to rest the ancient spirits of the forest.
