Forest Trail

I am the forest trail steep and dangerous expansive and free my rocks could be your bearings or they could give away under your feet I can offer water and refuge or a maze tight as a wreath colours from sky to soil air organic and wild you might question the way you used to breathe climb great heights trip on roots wrought deep find views not to be forgotten tame the animals you meet life here perseveres even when it is delicate and thin and many trample on the trail to explore what's within but the guides warn do not disturb the earth for once you pluck what's living there's only diminishing returns now the streams are hissing moon and stars are reminiscing you took only a leaf but I can feel suddenly it is missing.
