Forest's Song

The trees danced back and forth in the wind As the bushes rustled along to the move The grass whistled, feeling brand new Creating the forest's own special tune With the leaves turning to the shades of fall The trees slowed their dance The bushes, in turn, slowed their rustle too The grass continued to whistle, having too much fun Nothing can stop the leaves from falling The trees know they are only stalling The bushes too see the delay The grass just wants to continue to play Standing bare, the trees dared not to move The bushes stopped rustling, feeling alone The grass continued to whistle, not wanting to stop Yet, no one could hear it under a white blanket The stark white snow silenced the forest's song No dancing, or rustling, or whistling can be heard But don't you fret or worry They'll come back in the spring with their special song. When they come back they will be louder than ever A bond between them that no one can sever A melody that we will forever remember And a spring night that will last until December October 5, 2011 Edited: October 9, 2011
