Forest-tales
Secrets
Stories of the forest
Whispered softly, through the trees
Crossing ore' the meadows
Wingless dreams, in the breeze
Secrets carved, left in tree bark
Skipping, of a stone
Coins wished on after dark
Into deep wells, unknown
The shadows remember
What the wildlife keeps safe
Hidden after December
Until the forest awakes
Telling tales of its slumber
Catching up on the news
Things stirring down under
Where the quietness grew
Waiting for the springtime
When the snow and ice thaw
Like a vine, learning to climb
Creating wonder and awe
Oh, the secrets concealed there
Some hidden, right in plain sight
Pull up a lawn chair
Be sure to buckle up tight
Natures not for the faint hearted
Be prepared for the hype
When their secrets are imparted
You're in for the time of your life
