Secret of the Forest
SECRET OF THE FOREST
The truth was concealed with many branches
Well cushioned with intertwining vines
In the dark forest at the foothills
It lay hidden since ancient times
After the demise of the reigning emperor
The enemies broke into the fort
Scouting every nook and corner
For the rumoured treasure of yore
Within the palace and outside
The quest continued far and wide
Empire combed for a fortnight
the elusive cache lay out of sight
Exhausted to their very bones
The soldiers gave up the fight
After looting and plundering
Melted into horizon,horses astride
Unknown to all the loyal guard
Sat still on it throughout
The retreating army trampled upon him
His blood spilled ruthlessly over the boughs
Centuries later, this very ground
Was visited by an excavation squad
Within weeks of digging around
The rarest truest gem was found!
