Life is a Forest
Life is a forest
Large, full and verdant.
Each life, like each forest, is different.
Some are large and lush,
Others are small and barren,
While others still are somewhere in between.
However, all are important,
And all benefit the earth and each other, somehow.
Producing what they can, and taking what they deserve.
The forests all harbor darkness, however.
The underbellies of the woods hide vermin,
And the canopy shades places best ignored or left forgotten.
The pools and ponds of the forest lie placid,
The black waters reflecting the gnarled, rotten oaks on the banks.
But for every darkness, a light must exist.
Golden leaves and flowing streams cut through the lush green mosses,
While bright blue and red berries dot the wooded landscape.
Warm rays of sun penetrate the trees and provide life to the forest.
In life, like in a forest, a path may exist,
And you may choose to follow it,
Although breaking off into the undergrowth and forging your own path,
May yield the most fruitful results.
Brave the brambles and the cobwebs,
The thorns and the caves,
And you will find something that makes the whole journey worth it.
