A Forest

A forest.
Thick velvety leaves, cool misty air, birds chirping and calm everywhere.
Shadows, shallow streams, secrets, and the scent of the sun.
Flowing rivers, fields of flowers full of hope, with a worth higher than gold.
Whispering, wondering, questioning, what they see, if they see, do they see?
Feelings? Emotions? Any at all? Will they care if they are gone?
A forest.
Leaves, twigs, branches, and grass.
Sparkling skies with setting suns, shining in the shadows at day.
Gloomy gusts of wind at night.
Flowing, floating, twisting and turning, crying out for help.
Cool, misty air, to high black smoke
The sun once shone, now it shines no more.
