What Do You See?

THE SECRETS OF THE FOREST

Open up the wardrobe door and step in to a room,

 

Full of mist and carpets damp, full of life in bloom.

  

 

What once was just a forest floor, 

with trees and 

rocks and vines,

 

Has now become a place unknown, 

as you see the  beauty shine.

There’s magic in the woods you know, 

Full of living things,

Breathing, moving, dancing, 
 
Can you hear the fairies sing?

 

Woodsy, quiet, cloaked in shade,

or dappled by the sun,

 

Moss paves your way as you step inside, 

you find yourself quite stunned.

Eerie though it seems at first, 

let the stillness calm your nerves,

Quiet now, stop and listen

you are being welcomed by the birds.

 

You realize, the song is sung by many…

crickets, birds and bugs,

Their wings are keeping rhythm,

while the fairies give you hugs.

 

 
So much beauty goes unseen,

unless you stop to notice,

   

The door is always open, 

as you now know how to focus.

Things you never knew were there,

have now come in to view,

 
Tiny creatures, plants and bugs,  

all bathe in morning dew.

 


Keep safe the woods,

and the life within it, 

for those who will come later,

 

 
It is your job and rightly so, 

to take care of Mother Nature.

Not everyone can see, 

what nature sets before us,


 

She picks and chooses

and only a few, 

know the secrets of the Forest.
