The Forest

by Mommy And Me   Aug 5, 2006


Standing in a forest the tree is alone
Not even the leaf has the strength to smile
It is the song of the dead mockingbird
Lost, old, forgotten

Hanging on a tree the swing is abandoned
The spirit of the wind has vanished to nothing
It is the kiss of the starving wolf
Inert, dead, misguided

Clutching to a swing the girl is condemned
The sight of a tear is not to far off
It is the cry of the tortured pup
Distant, serene, un-noticed

A tree, a swing, a child
All spiritless, lifeless creatures
It is the truth of the lonesome world
Misguided, un-noticed, forgotten

    Loved this. Speshly how you repeated some of those words at the end in the last stanza. Very well done. The flow was good too. Nothing that I'd change. Keep it up!
