Description
Whispered trees in distant mist
open to sunlight as we draw close.
At first I think its steam rising -
but its a language between trees
and sky, written like soft breath
or musical notes scored in dew.
Then there's the intricate undergrowth
scribbled all over the ground -
a whole orchestration of sound
involving leaves, thorns, berries,
insects scratching or clicking,
and fine patterned spiderwebs.
You and I don't really belong here
but are invited nevertheless
to listen and observe while
all around us the forest
gently communicates
secrets of deer, dreys, and nests,
and the cool colours seep
into our bones, intimating
an ultimate sense of time
being a slow unwinding
interrupted by occasional
flights, spinnings, or bounds.
All of the forest signals
are natural rhythms and parts
of one magical piece
of music, poetry, art -
a grand operatic story
of growth, and cycles of heart.
