The Sleeping Forest by Kielo

Merit for February 2007

Under ancient bows of golden wood,
The forest sits in stilled repose
She sleeps, She dreams, She slumbers deep,
The forest lies in stilled repose

Untouched,
Unseen,
Unswaying beams,

The forest waits in sealed respite,
She sleeps, She dreams, She slumbers deep
Her children cast in timeless spell,
To still the tide of darkest stain

Beneath green wings of shaded eaves,
The forest sits in stilled repose
She sleeps, She dreams, She slumbers deep,
The forest lies in stilled repose

Untouched,
Unseen,
Undying leaves

The forest waits in sealed respite,
She sleeps, She dreams, She slumbers deep
Her faithful trees sit fettered fast,
To stop the spread of deepest hate

Over silent gleam of silver brook,
The forest sits in stilled repose
She sleeps, She dreams, She slumbers deep,
The forest lies in stilled repose

Untouched,
Unseen,
Unmoving streams

The forest waits in sealed respite,
She sleeps, She dreams, She slumbers deep
Her coven poised in endless vigil,
To halt the march of eldest bane

Under ancient bows of golden wood,
The forest rests in fixed repose
Beneath green wings of shaded eaves,
The forest lies in fixed repose
Over silent gleam of silver brook,
The forest waits in fixed repose

Untouched,
Unseen,
Unwavering seams

The forest waits;
She sleeps,
She dreams,
She slumbers deep
