Lush Hush

serenity and tranquility
a thousand years and more
the lush hush of the forest
trees and so much more

underground mycelium
ravens distant cries
mushrooms in the undergrowth
with mind altering surprise

the ground with mossy carpets
a hidden hundred eyes
knowing that we're not alone
by nature we are tied

to the quiet in the forest
where tranquility endures
quietness evolving
always me allures...

embraced by all the living
visible and unseen
beings who telepathically
share this woodland scene

forever reaching skyward
beneath to overhead
are trees, the planet's guardians
long after we are dead...
