A Day in the Forest

The trees’ memories
Linger softly
Shadows of time past

A multitude
Of silent witnesses
Time passes slowly

Life is teeming
Under the foliage
An ecosystem in motion

Lush plants
Carpet the ground
Ants gather food

Rabbits and mice
Scurry about
Happy and content

Walking underneath
The canopy of leaves
Life is simpler

Feeling connected
To God the Creator
From dirt He made us

Look at the beauty
And diversity
Of life He created

Standing in awe
At the wonder
Of His handiwork
