THE SEA OF TREES

A wall of leaves, the sea of trees -

A verdant blanket on the hills

That stretches out endlessly -

Uninterrupted for miles.

 

My body wearies from travel;

I\'m of a strange territory.

I know something of you all

But you don\'t recognize me.

 

Now I\'m arrived for what I seek

And could not expect afar.

Won\'t you be as kith - oh, trees -

And provide me some shelter?

 

Your swarm is a soft embrace;

Your stance - admirable;

So many gathered in one place

That\'re loved and beautiful.
