Future of the forest
By Florence V

The leaves rustled in the breeze
As the wind sang a song of glee
Standing tall and standing strong
The wind whistled and swayed along
Moss collecting over time
Creatures swing from vine to vine
Hear their cries of whispers and lies
And listen as the canopy becomes alive
Shadows darken the once sun-kissed trees
As grey clouds linger like an infectious disease
The bird calls turn from joy to alarmed
Signalling the end of the freedom and peace
