The Forest (Poem)

A symphony of days gone by, play a tune amongst the trees

Abandoned playground of my fellow kin, nature forced down to its knees

Pleading to be spared from the executioners saw

A once peaceful and safe haven, just in the way once more

The eyes that once offered its protection

Have been blinded by its plight

The embers of the forest fire, extinguished in the night

But every fallen oak tree plant an eternal seed

Roots so indescribable, natures greatest deed

Man is afraid of the unknown from the dawn of time

The forest is not our enemy; it’s never been a crime

This concrete driven obsession suffocates our very lung

Understand our hidden mystery; we breathe life into the young

Do not be scared of its darkest shadow, it’s just paradise at night

The howling of the wolves, and the eagles taking flight

Green Man still protects us, with all the strength left within

Let the war on nature end, let a new dawn begin

Embrace the forest of yesteryear; let it become a land once more

No longer shall we fear its strength, the purest of the pure
