- Deep Forest -


                           You need to go far, farther, even farther
                                  Over small streams and tracks
                 The moon is distant, but can be glimpsed through the trees
                           A moose lifts his head, a beautiful antlers
                                          King of the forest
                                 Can smell the forest and wildlife
                                   The fox howling at the moon
                                           Echoes in the woods
                                         Two yellow glowing eyes
                              It is the owl which are on the night watch
                                  Hope that all mice are safely home
                               The moon disappears behind the clouds
                                   Darkness falls, deep into the forest

Ah, life in the forest, Anne-Lise. such a great place to see life as darkness falls. In many ways it reminds me of scenes in unfamiliar cities I have been. Always much to observe and learn. Very nice picture, my friend.... Robert.
