Life In the Forest
A butterfly alights from a dewed rose
As fog begins to lift beyond the trees
What mysteries does this new day propose
Once sun and sky shine lively through the leaves?
An open cottage door within the wood
Sways lightly in the whistling wind at dawn
The house where once a lonely mother stood
Now is home to a doe and her young fawn
The forest is alive with sights and souls
The past and present to this day align
Where weariness of cities takes no tolls
To peacefully repose and then resign
The wilderness is there in every breath
And nature brings its life to even death
