Whispers of the Forest

Sunlight rustles through the forest’s leaves,
bringing us to a new place that we never have seen
As ferns unravel like delicate little green umbrellas
The river sings its soft melodic lullaby,
its waves crash against stones as if each ripple is carrying a new secret
We see all the creatures that live in this beautiful forest
An elusive fox to a delicate butterfly showing us how nature's beauty is divine.
Shadows dance on moss as the earth breathes softly.
The air with the scent of blossoms
jasmine and wild mint swirl in the breeze
The flowers bloom in defiance,
while the colours erupt like joy
Cool grass against our feet
Each blade a gentle caress
Ripe berries are tart and juicy
Like a new burst of summer
The more time we spend with nature the more we realise,
we won’t know it all and never will.
