Hiding

Find me.
Find me hidden between the moss and leaves.
The bark that hold lives,
but not ours.
This place has a thousand stories to tell,
we just don't speak the language
of the whispering
of the songs
of the rustles.

We run through as children,
sharing our joy and innocence.
Something that will be lost to us
but never here.
The laughter is captured
and is stagnant in the air
just waiting for our return.
Keeping our memories on hold.

And now I return
to my seemingly still palace.
To rest upon the grass
and listen to the birds.
As they begin to tell me many tales.

I'll try to understand,
just to block you out.
I'll listen intently,
just to block you out.
I'll walk in here forever,
just to block you out.

But if you so choose,
I am lost to these trees,
their murmurs and cries.
So find me if you can,
for I'm hidden between the leaves.

it seems you are saying we all become lost at some point or other but do not run from it, the world is more than our ego and we can always find our way again.. there is a melancohly with this, a calmness within your spirit and words..really quite wonderful :)

love it

You're sick with the imagery! You also have an ability to convey the emotion and not just the idea- me gusta. My favorite lines-

I feel like this part, I can relate to for one; and two, I like how the repitition adds a sort of sense of strive. You did a great job on this piece, 99/100

I just closed my eyes and pictured myself in the woods, doing the childhood memory and pure love things. Soooo Romantic, Nicely Penned Emotions...

[Rosauro Brillantes]

Amazing! I can almost close my eyes and feel myself in the place you write about!

[JenniferMarie]

beautiful. I really like the tone and images. Very nice poem.

Well done. I like how identifiable it is. All of us have probably hidden in the woods to escape certain situations.
I think this could be a bit longer? Maybe slightly more descriptive of what she/he is hiding from? Is there a certain particular stress that the protagonist is in fear of? Just a few thoughts.

The magical words hypnotized me.
I am captivated,spell bound you magician of words!
I can't find you.
Stay there hidden between the leaves.
I would rather prefer to roam aimlessly to be spell bound again and again.
