A Forest of Secrets

Published 24 September 2024
The moon rises above the horizon,
The forest is bathed in dark moonlight.
Starry skies glisten in the night,
Not a sound is heard, no fear or fright.
Lorikeets chirp stories and songs,
Whilst owls nestle amongst their young.
Possums leap from tree to tree,
United in friendship, happily free.
Ancient gumtrees reach into the ground,
Silence fills the air, barely making a sound.
The forest may seem eerie,
But it hides something bright,
If you search the darkness, you can find the light.
