Forest

quiet green
sun spread shasde
a canopy of
splendorous
tall trees
height and girth
worth their years
leaves sparkling
with the last
wet brilliant
gems of morning dew

passing through
this earthly temple
only marked
by nature's hand
i am silently
touched and changed
by the magic
and the beauty
of this singular
moment

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
