I stand in awe
As I watch the trees
Sway to and fro
Branches crack and fall
As is in the leaves
Elves were playing tag
The squirrels jump and run
Playing peek-a-boo with me
And all their furry friends
The birds sing their chirpy tunes
Hidden within broad leaf trees
Keeping the forest cheery
Fascinated by its inspiring beauty
I leave nothing behind but the trees
And take only my pictures with me
Hoping against all hope
Someone else’s eyes were pleased
So they do as I do leave and take nothing but leave everything
