WHISPERS



 The language of the forest 
can be heard 
just by being in the midst of it.
The trees 
laced 
in moss they are 
ancient
forlorn and wise. 
They endure on 
sacred ground
and rise where 
very few dare to walk. 
The woodlands 
stand sentinel 
and beckon “enter” 
with the magic 
of heavy-laden 
color. 
The lyrical 
movement is alluring 
yet an abstract 
and unsure presence 
taunts 
and pulls at the heart strings.
The sun barely shines 
through 
the thickness 
and the
light 
has 
nowhere to rest or reflect. 
The dampness 
still holds 
an aroma of rain 
and at any moment 
mythical 
creature 
could reveal 
what 
only 
plays 
out 
in the mind.
