The Forest

The colossal tree, green and old
I wonder what it feels like to be that enormous
I wonder
I wonder
The snake-like roots, long and wide
Grabbing the moss off the rock
I look up to see a bushy mess of green leaves
That giant rock like a guard

The sun shines through the leaves
Shimmering, shimmering  
The branches look like a flow of steps
This old tree with holes as big as caves

I walk up the rock, I stand at the edge
As I look I see a new world
A wall of green wings
I hop down
I walk along the gravel path
There are more and more trees
Bending over me
Big and bold  

The leaves scrunch, scrunch under me
I see olive green leaves like little fairies
Dancing around me
