Forest cries

Flowers used to bloom here now they lay and cry
Trees used to dance up here upon the skies
Berries used to splatter here as the trees drop their leaves
Birds used to nest here as the forest starts to grieve
Tail on tail, leaves on leaves, pedals on pedals, we start to leave
The forest cries as people find us
Machines buzzing, saws screaming
We are like helpless stones stuck and waiting to be thrown into a river
Like crying babies not being able to get out of their cot
we lay our heads down as we say our goodbyes
the forest is crying as people find us.
