The Forest

Their roots stretch down,  

down to the ground,

while their trunks stretch up 

and invite birds much. 

The birds peck from their leaves 

and collect seeds for their needs.

As I take a stroll to a nearby meadow 

the water's sparkly, clean and shallow.

I look back as I see 

a flock of ducks swooping, soaring and  

making quacks as they waddle on 

the forest floor, their mums 

teach them how to walk. 

I always think of forests and trees as 

I  

fall 

asleep.
