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

Love the romance of this. I should want to dress-up as an elf and live there quite happily.
Me too! It’s one of my many dreams.
Thanks SONGBIRD ~ Love your poem ! In my experience all forests are enchanted @ night. Most people them @ night because they are spooky. I love the nocturnal sounds ~ animals & bats & owls ~ so different from the day. I've added you as a FRIEND ~ please check our last two POEMS they are about BIRDS. Yours BRIAN & ANGELA. Thanks for adding US as FRIENDS ~ B & A !
Thank you Brian and Angela! I’ll make sure to read your poems. I totally agree, all forests are enchanting at night!!
Super write, I too would be quite happy living there.
Thanks Goldfinch!
