Forest

The vast forest deep and dark
The northern side surrounded by meadow forming an arc
From the west, ocean in which exist whales orcas and great white shark
From the south mountains in which great king is a monarch

In the forest trees grow tall
Each has its own unique soul
The beauty of the forest can be seen in fall
When golden and red leaves from those trees fall

The forest can be dangerous but enchanted place
Still there are many difficulties in there one must face
The forest is not on this earth or other space
It is a metaphor a beyond a spiritual place

But back on earth a dragon in actual forest will dwell
He has three heads and long tail 
The secrets of soul to him their visage will unveil
And that is what will make him excel

Those secrets are of course in the forest of the metaphor the sky
To which no bird can simply fly
This is the place where secrets will lie
And their glory through the dragon to earth they will supply 

In the forest of the sky among others live two snakes
They live close to the two lakes
One is king cobra smartest of all snakes
The other is king snake who is immune to venom of other snakes

The venom represents spiritual perils found in the forest of the sky
But no matter how much venom this snake will not die
And that power it will to the dragon pass by
And dragons mind will rejoice as towards expanse it will fly
