It's quiet when I enter the forest,

Leaves crunching beneath my feet

Wind softly rustling the treetops,

Their limbs dancing silently

As the sun gently peeps through

To keep watch over me.

As I step farther into this world,

It comes alive with sound,

For they know I'm here;

The woodland dwellers—

Chirping, croaking, skittering, peeping

As the forest awakens.
