Danger in the Forest

Nature is as still as mindful birds,

Safe and sound

As the trees stretch their precious tentacles

Across the ground

Leaves rustling

Soft and swaying

Telling the birds

Not to eat its sleeves

But when the day came

Like a dangerous sword

Woodcutters came without warning

There was war

Birds cheeped

The woodcutters were bulls

As they cut tree to tree

Chop! Swish! Crack!
