Walk Through the Forest

Walk Through The Forest Walk slowly through the forest Feel the leafs on your feet The stones between your toes Listen to the water of a nearby creek And the sticks crack beneath your steps The forest is a world of its own Castles and palaces reach for the sky Covered with a thick ceiling of green Flowers glisten in the filtered sun Birds sing to each other But none of that is there for you Just remember as you walk You do not belong in this world You are the alien intruder Still the forest welcomes you Wrapping you in cooling breezes Sharing its shade with you If you have the chance to walk through the forest Make sure you appreciate what is offered you Thank the forest for accepting you Lastly, when you leave Take only memories, leave only footprints If you do The forest will welcome you back The next time you want to take a walk
