Question

whispers of the forest
the leaves rustle gently, a song to the night,
the ancient trees hum in the moons pale light,
where owls and the shadows dance intertwined,
the heart of the forest beats, unconfined.
5 in the glint of the stars, the stream softly flows,
reflecting the world as the cold wind blows.
secrets of eons, to the night they confide,
in the embrace of the dark, they all reside.
10 the chirping crickets, a serenade long,
contribute their notes to the woodlands song.
the fox trots silently, amber eyes gleam,
part of this world, yet lost in a dream.
15 whispering tales of days gone by,
to the listening trees and the open sky
when dawn approaches, the forests song wanes,
preparing for sunlight, the nights charm drains.
but in the heartbeats of nocturnal drum,
20 the whispers of the forest life will come.
