Known Now, a Hidden Sweet Wonder Rarely Known

Known Now, A Hidden Sweet Wonder Rarely Known ( Shadow Sonnet, form number 6 ) Green forest glowings transcends earthly green. Masked veils waiting to be wisely unmasked. Why hide the answer after asking why? Would a forest's skin be only bark wood? Can not earth's Nature also prove man can; live in peace and do right by letting live. Finding old trees joyous in the finding. Many jewels found where runes are many. Tokens of darkness just ancient tokens. On blood-sacrificing stones, red stains still on. Hope for greater insight against lost hope; revealed in wood old savagery revealed. Yet old timber growths you may still find yet Unknown miracles crying to be known. Robert J.
