FORREST By ... Steve Lucky

                FOREST
          By ... Steve Lucky

Living landmarks in all directions
Provide people with better connections
To nature and to events long past.
Some trees are able to last
For generations creating a link
In a place where one can stop and think
About events from long ago.
Living landmarks let one know
Despite all activity around the place
Life is still able to keep pace.

Animals can also be seen
Hiding somewhere amoung the green.
Even if they do not stay in view
They are part of the forest too.
Some are seen only once and then never seen again.
Others keep returning every now and then.
Animals, at their own discretion
Can create a lasting impression.
Various animal sights and sounds
In a forest can always be found.

Whether for a lifetime or for an instant
Forests do not have to be distant.
Human beings with their technology still depend
On plants and animals to find a friend.
