moonlit darkness covers a forest
as birds are sleeping and rabbits are hiding
an unbroken surface lies
reflecting truth abiding
the night holds a collective breath
filled with mystery and anticipation
as the water lies still
a pool of untapped inspiration
fireflies dance in spontaneous splendor
partners with their watery twin
warm lights over a cold underworld
not even knowing how to swim
the air is gone
banished from that single moment
a feeling of nothingness ensues
making you feel so content
time stands still in the forest
where time isn’t known
where nothing ages and nothing dies
a place for nature to call home
it’s a place of no beginnings
and a place of no ends
it’s a place of magical dreams
and a place of unlikely friends
untainted by evolution
it’s stands against human nature
defying any kind of destruction
nothing can capture it, not even a painter
but if time ever resumes in this enchanted forest
your heart will hear a sound, a sigh
a collective exhale of a million creatures
as the moon finally resumes it’s stroll through the sky
