In the Forest of My Dreams

Where conifers gaily waltz tempos evergreen Unspoiled by human deeds, pure, and pristine, Eagles soar there, spanning freedom wings And trees gently whisper to rhythmic bird trills Echoing grey owls, blue jays, robins, crossbills, Hopping, jumping, circling, frolicking in breeze Reveling with hatchlings, feeding on berries As sun rays filtering-in on wildflowers glow Oscillating shadows in gusting, windy, woes Amidst bears’ huffs, woofs, raging ugly growl When raccoons coyly snarl at foxes’ feral-howl Hiding from pitter-patter of tropical rainfall In heavenly paradise as birdsongs toll daylong Serenading the land where liberty is paramount In forest of my dreams’ blossoming sanctuary~ A temple, a hideaway, a refuge, an ecosystem, A reserve for humanity, a shrine for sanctity, In equilibrium, edifying calmness and peace Where elixir of sacred life flows in holy streams Sustaining earth’s renewal in tranquil harmony.
