The Forest

The mountains were quite, the morning sodden

The lake was dark, shadowed were the trees

The insects were asleep, waiting to be awaken

In a slumber were the animals, asleep were the bees

The birds asleep had filled the nests on the trees

Dark were the mountains, not a hint of shine in them,

The land too seemed, lifeless and dull

But then at last, it came

The mountains awakened first, with the virgin touch of glimmer

From behind them, to change the course, rose the extravagant sun

Thus began the rejoice, thus the birds began to flutter,

Thus the awakening dawned, the slumber disappeared

The trees lit up, so ecstatic were they

The insects smiled, their eyes got back their glimmer

The seas smiled too, when hit by the sun’s ray

The animals were filled with pleasure

The forest was in the depths of my heart, nowhere else

And the exuberant sun, it is you

The light in you, annihilated my darkness

The shine awakened this lifeless mess

But after the day, comes the night

The sun leaves alone the trees, abandons the mountains

The glimmer and cheer, is lost out of sight

And without a warning, lifeless becomes the forest again
