You Are A Whispering Forest Poem by Paul Hartal

You are a whispering forest:
Enchanting, dusky, intense,
Inviting, wild boreal scent,
Unfathomable, hearty and dense.

You are a murmuring ocean,
Swarming with fish, recondite,
I swim in your azure water,
Along your shore I glide on kite.

You are the rain in the desert,
Lightning and thunder of the storm,
And the calm dawning, fresh and clear,
The flowers springing from the corm.

And you are a redeeming monsoon,
The grace lighting lamps on the moon
