The Mysterious Forest

The Mysterious Forest

Deep inside the wooded plains
Clumps of snow fall down
Dry leaves scrounging forward
Stillness all around

Squirrels stomp on the foliage
Hunt around for food
Fall on broken branches
Looking for what's good

Wind wails through the forest
Leaving a sound trail
Moving through the shadows
In a darkened veil

Stars peek through the tree tops
Shining in delight
Making their known presence
On this special night

Deep through broken tree stumps
A magic spirit lies
Glowing through the distance 
Where it softly sighs
