A green blanket, draped over the earth

Still and waiting eternally


A spirited, surging ecosystem

Bustling by endlessly


A forest full of wonders

Waiting to be seen


A white powder, hugging each branch

Locking in secrets untold


A calming chill, coming over the land

Lulling flora and fauna into a winter's slumber


A forest full of wonders

Waiting to be felt


A swaying trunk, aimlessly bending in the wind

Sitting lonely, unable to speak


A flutter of wings, a frog that sings

Stories with fervor and excitement


A forest full of wonders

Waiting to be heard


A new city, loud and dirty

Oblivious to its destruction and eradication


A lost home, never replaceable

Beauty obscured by human touch


A forest stripped of wonders

Waiting to be remembered
