Forest Dweller

Forest Dweller. 


forest dweller all in green shape shifting with eyes never yet seen 



a movement of a branch then bows delightfully where once he has been 



walking like the leaves rustle but quiet in mean 



birds sit upon him unknowing because he is part of the scene 



he loves the rain for he hears all of the forest and all of the animals together as they loudly sing 



when all light surrounds him he is invisible to see as the light of his body is the most perfect translucent of green 


  

the forest dweller becomes tired soon after as the sun goes in 


  

he once again changes to become darker and as the sun sets he lies amongst the woodland moss to sleep and dream of the day when it rained and the whole of the woodland wood beautifully sing.
