The forest, it sees

Enchanted creeks lined with rock and heirloom hollyhocks Are just off the beaten trail

but caution- turn around and traps await those who have that fate tread softly, as all are not welcome here, the secrets

are far too great so I plead you, don't stop or hesitate keep up your pace

You can turn around now make your escape head out with the current- or pull toward the forest choose a watchful silence

walk quietly breathe deeply the forest loves exhales

let yourself find the details- rather, let the detail find you tiny only in appearance their presence cools calms leads you down listening, starting at the ground

when you listen you hear and sometimes you see - you realize

you sense it's all listening back to me to you - the forest, it sees.
