I am the Forest
November 4, 2017
I am the forest
I am the footsteps squishing in the mud after a freshly fallen rain
I am the pine needles laying on the forest floor
I am the hundreds of branches reaching out and hugging the trails you made
I am the the dirt of the ravine crumbling away and tumbling into the pit
I am the trickle of water waiting in that pit
I am the forest
I am the presence some feel
I am the spirit for those who can see it
I am the whisper in the wind some can hear
I am the forest

Nature has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Through all these years, I've noticed how alive everything is if you listen hard enough. I hope this poem encourages others to listen and see what an amazing world it is out there!
