Just One Tree

The haven whispers its secrets, unfolding
Through the endless wonders with each step,
As the rain drips down to the leaf-infested floors.
In the open hearts of the forest,
Birds sing their voices,
Filling the sky with harmony and grace,
While the trees sway to the music.
But throughout the relaxation,
Throughout the wildlife,
A tree falls down.
Then one, then two, then three,
Then four, then five, then six
And once they're done,
All that's left is one small sapling
