The Old Growth Forests Date: Sunday, 8th March 2015 @ 10:54:46 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: JamesStockdale The old growth forests Speak in their own way Softly bending, rustling throughout the day They tower high above Other trees and shrubs With a majestic view Of the sky above They gather whispers Of the animals and life below That includes me and you They shade other life deep down below Dropping bits of clear pristine dew Nourishing the soil So plant life can grow The limbs gently caressed By the warm summer breeze Make the leaves dance with joy Simplicity with ease What a beautiful view They do provide Texturing the skyline Shades of blue, green and gray. A long-lived life Filled with wisdom Of all things That reside below their canopies This poem is Copyright © JamesStockdale Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
