In the forest I can find
gentle stillness all around
the wind as it passes through the leaves
birds calling to one another
squirrels chattering up the trees
leaves rustling about your feet
the forests carpet
soft
and deep
the bark on trees
creating decorative design
their branches reach up
toward the sky
moss growing up the side
gentle
and green
old abandoned forts
where children used to play
slowly decay
the forest takes them to her again
beautiful
free
wild
forever.
