Visiting the forest
You experience change
Trees start to waken
Relaxing their limbs
Like the old doing Tai Chi
A few move about
Looking for water
To put down roots
Others you’ve known
For many years
Aren’t breathing
They might not be dead
Listen and they speak
It’s nature’s peace
To die and rot
To be and not
There’s a presence
Both in earth and air
Exult in your age
The forest is saying
When you look up
And see a green moon
Forget everything
You are everything
