Our Long-Lost Home

 Lingering whiff of sodden earth,

sprouting with new blossoms and birth,

beginnings and endings merging together,

here life flows on soft feathers.

Shades of fresh leaves and ferns,

a wishful abode for a heart to return,

the forests are our long-lost home,

where our old souls still roam.

Thanks for this tribute to forests. There are few of them where I live, but they are treasures, and I honor them.
