A poem by me, written after a walk in the forest. Enjoy. Silence is a secret balm, hidden in the forest calm. Deep within the rustling trees, beauty that the blind eye sees- How long ago, how long. The rush of the city, frantic light, blinking in and out of sight- I long for calm, but it will not come. Silence engulfs me like a storm, silence, letting me breathe once more- the city flies by, my time has come, I nestle in, between forest and gum. Once again, I sink to the ground, worries flitting, an echo sound, fading away between dusk and dawn- here I belong, in silence, gone.
