Nature’s tinkering
Haphazardly renews Earth
Tumbles the mighty

Each day, sounds of whispers
A rustle of leaves, but not quite
Near the bushes, they gather
To bid the day goodnight
Making a canopy, over the road
Each to the other, very quietly
No humans, can ever be around
This is the secret life of trees
Faces begin to appear on trunks
As the sun sets, with swiftness
Careful not to draw attention
They never want an eyewitness
For if the humans find them out
They will surely cut them down
And this is why you never hear
A tree, when it hits the ground
They’ll never make a noise, a thud
Or cry out loudly, in sudden pain
People would know their secret
And they’d never show faces, again
So, every time you pass by trees
Remember, they have feelings, too
Be kind, and let them live in peace
It’s the least we humans can do…

Nestled between two forest giants
Lies the tomb of a mighty king
Buried years before our birth
Is now empty, missing
The ruling monarch
A mere spirit
Gathering
Human
Souls
Who
Wander
As they seek
The shaded day
Escaping the sun
Under lush greenery
Unaware of the trap set
They fall, endlessly, to their death
Never finding their way home again

Mists weave in and out of brush
In the forest, a stillness, a hush
Which lingers in the quietude
As morn begins its soft prelude
And wakens to the faintest breeze
Enveloped round the sleepy trees
A sanctuary, a forgotten place
Where life slows, to a calmer pace
A chance to disappear, unheard
Where nothing is said, not a word
And as the winds whisper in my ear
Light covets darkness, crystal clear
To show the beauty I’ve come to see
And rest mine, weary eyes on thee
Soak in, all those in nature’s attendance
The Glory of God, in subtle resplendence
