They say, you cannot see
The forest from the trees.
But bear witness
The flora and fauna,
The commotion that exemplifies
Its graceful sovereignty.
Alas, from the clouds
Only a copious green sea.
No sound,
No movement.
Lacking intrinsically
Its innate beauty.

Alas, from the clouds
Only a copious green sea.
No sound,

Lacking intrinsically
Its innate beauty.
