The Forest

I crept under a tree that was strewn with bark,
I crouched down in the woolly grass
As I peacefully listen to the trees whispering in the wind
I see a butterfly that stripes through my eyes
I immediately stood and followed the butterfly
The butterfly lead me to a huge waterfall that looked like the size of my house
The water splashed at me as I started to squeal
My hair, oh no, my beautiful hair
I hear the birds trill when the water went still
The evening died, just when all a sudden, a lost baby bird cried
It got cold in the dark, so I lighted a pile of wood
To create a fire to keep me warm and give me light
The fire glinted on the river
I snuggled in bed
With the evening dread
