Like sap, lazily seeping down a tree
Through the cracks in the bark
From the peak to the earth
Or a breeze, gently lifting the leaves
Shaking the young branches
Creating a whistle
Or sunshine, surely warming the air
Rays peek through the treetops
Heating what’s below
Or the fog, swiftly setting in
Hugging the forest floor
Trapping souls in a hazy stupor
Goosebumps cover my flesh
And my breath quakes
As the call envelops me
And I wander deeper into its sound
Until I’m lost

Like sap, lazily seeping down a tree
Through the cracks in the bark
From the peak to the earth
Or a breeze, gently lifting the leaves
Shaking the young branches
Creating a whistle
Or sunshine, surely warming the air
Rays peek through the treetops
Heating what’s below
Or the fog, swiftly setting in
Hugging the forest floor
Trapping souls in a hazy stupor
Goosebumps cover my flesh
And my breath quakes
As the call envelops me
And I wander deeper into its sound
Until I’m lost
