Stillness. There is no fire causing havoc in the forest. There is no floodwater to wash away the dirt it rests upon, Screaming a song. The birds are mellow. The squirrels are hiding. My back rests against a maple tree. Imagination is free, but bound by peaceful things. My thoughts can wander freely, but the woods are dull. Can you sing me a song? My plots fall flat. Falling... though an endless void. There is only black. This mind is useless if my tales are null. I already drowned the rabbit hole. Silence. I already egged the nests, And boulders keep the bears at rest. They're sleeping. The woods are sleeping. The trees still standing, And I'm still humming this same old tune.

The Trees Still Standing
Stillness. There is no fire causing havoc in the forest. There is no floodwater to wash away the dirt it rests upon, Screaming a song. The birds are mellow. The squirrels are hiding. My back rests against a maple tree. Imagination is free, but bound by peaceful things. My thoughts can wander freely, but the woods are dull. Can you sing me a song? My plots fall flat. Falling... though an endless void. There is only black. This mind is useless if my tales are null. I already drowned the rabbit hole. Silence. I already egged the nests, And boulders keep the bears at rest. They're sleeping. The woods are sleeping. The trees still standing, And I'm still humming this same old tune.
Sing me a song and inspire me, nature.
