A Prayer to The Forest

It smells like home,

The dead and the living.

It looks like home,

The bark lines you’re reading.

It feels like home,

Cooling under bare feet.

It sounds like home,

I’m brought back here by the birds’ beat.

It tastes like home,

Sweet raspberries, fresh from the soil.

Come on, nature’s giving you all!

For the Forest, my friends, is our Home.
