Forest Whisperings

This poem won 1st Place in Explore California State Parks at the Alameda County Fair 2019.

Forest Whisperings

The forest,
she is calling me.

It’s been too long since

I’ve wandered

her beautiful winding pathways,

climbed her mountains

just for a gaze of beauty so intense

no poem nor photo does justice,

admired the way the sun dapples

brilliantly through her branches,

soaked in the salty smell of ocean

entangled with fresh pine.

She is calling,

and to her,

I must soon journey,

for within her bosom,

I shall be reunited with myself.
