"My Sleeping Forest"

The snow has covered my sleeping forest with a blanket.


Listen to the silence. shhhhhh,, be very quiet.

Sometimes I can hear the sound of the snow
falling from the branches,,,
and sailing through the air,
and then it goes PLOP, onto the earth below.

Sometimes I hear birds tweet.
Sometimes I hear the sound of wings flapping above my head.
Sometimes I hear the squirrels chattering.
Sometimes I see those naughty rabbits running into the thicket ,
with carrots from my winter garden.
The wind is howling in my ears, like coyote songs.
I will sit here quietly,
counting snow drops.
and watch the forest sleep.
Nitey nite my friends.
love
