The Wakening Forest

Image

The roof of the sky this day is dark

and brooding saturating the

atmosphere with a humid warmth

like a restrained dip in a 

southern ocean on an idyllic tropical

island. There where exotic

flora has its own customized

rainforest and brilliant greens

throb and vibrate with life in all

seasons. Here in a northern continent

spring forests are exhausted from

their struggle for survival

assailed by ferocious icy winds and

vicious snowstorms as they slowly

recover from a lifeless hiatus

amidst nature's blandishments of

sunlight, caressing breezes and soft 

rains nursing the forest and its soil-

submerged vegetation bit by bit

restored to life, awaiting summer.
