The Forest

by Macey Cervenka

 

Dawn comes, thunder

booms, lightning hisses.

 

The moon is like an emerald

in the black night sky.

 

Wind, like a whisper, rain,

like a dance.

 

Morning, alas.  The lilac bush

is like glass, the rock wall, a mirror.

 

The dark stream whirs like a hurricane,

the birds look like bits of fire in the sunlit sky.

 

The last of the snow, like a big cloud

on the ground.

 

Flash, in the morning sun, the big leaf tree

is still asleep.
