To anyone else else it's complete silence,
but to those who remember how to listen, the forest is alive with stories.

Every bend in every bough of a tree,
holds another line of poetry.

Listen to the trees,
little one,
for they will guide you on your journey to a new reality.

The author's comments:
I was riding home in the car with my family and I asked my mother to turn of the radio. I stared out the window in the silence saying the tress that were zooming by were telling me a story. When they asked why they couldn't hear it to I said, "becasue you forget how to listen."
