The Forest
Heathen57
In the silence of the forest,
When all seems still and quiet,
One only has to listen
To hear the power of life.
There are many voices
For the forest is alive
It is the sound of nature
The struggle to survive.
The power of the wind
As it caresses the trees
You will hear the voice of the spirit
Telling your heart to be free.
The struggle of survival
It’s the cycle of life
And we are a part of it
We cannot stand aside.
Being within the forest
Entwined with the beat
Of the pulse of the living
Thing that is she.
For she is a being
A life all her own
As such she must live it
Free from us, her alone.
So just stand in her embrace
And with awe look around
Bask in her wonder
And the beauty that abounds.
But as she is, let her be
For we should not change
The natural beauty, the cycle
Just let her wildness remain.
