The Forest Surrounds

 

The Calmness of the night

Gives me my sight

Listen to the song

It's peaceful and calm

 

~Breathe~

 

One deep breath

And another

Calmness surrounds

For in the forest

I'm never to be found

Author's Note

The picture was actually taken my me. Isn't it beautiful!

This piece allows the reader to imagine their own forest. Their own calm. The ability to enjoy the sounds of the night, leaving the day of hustle and bustle behind. To breathe in the fresh air anad just relax and finally be able to listen to heart, mind, body and soul. Lost in my own thoughts (my forest), never to be found. :)

Until the sun rises, and then, here we go again!

Thank you for sharing the piece!

Such a beautiful soft beginning, moving through the peacefulness of night. Love the pause! Then we move deeper into the forest and get lost in the depth and darkness. Wonderful words! And the pic is amazing!

I really like this. This poem was relaxing and calming to read, things have been a bit cray for me lately and this helped to clear my head. Thank you. I love the simplicity of this and it's freshness. Though there was one bit that read a little awkwardly "And another/ Calmness surrounds". I get what you're saying but the line "And another" stops the flow of the poem and it's a bit jarring. But this is a wonderful poem. Great work.

I am suddenly tempted to go play in the woods. Excellent imagery.

What would have made it even better is a very brief line about a body of water somewhere, as water is the very element of life.

This is so smooth and tranquil. For we should take the time to breathe,
and dream where we will never be found. In the title, I believe it should be
