I went into the dark forest deep Sat on the stump of an oak tree Felt a trance coming over me And in no time I was asleep
A woodpecker nearby tapped A message to alert the area That an alien was sighted there So be watchful and beware
Soon the birds spread the message In rap fashion they sang off key All should watch this Jezebel to see She hurts no one nor causes damage
Soon a quartet of horned owls Came dressed in black cowls To read the Jezebel her rights And warn her of the forest nights
Some squirrels and rats, toads and bats Yelled at her for coming to sacred grounds They flew in her face calling her a disgrace Saying humans never did know their place
Two wolves howled her an ancient tune Of how woods survived under sacred moon Then told her she should take more care And promise to never again venture there
I awoke as two deer escorted me out of there Taking me to where I had started my journey Strongly warning me to remember my promise Out of my trance thinking, which is fact or fancy
Fascinating write, Eileen. I love your "trance" or "dream" experiences and realities. They are wonderfully freeing and revealing. Love the honesty here. I too feel so castigated and scorned, at times, when I intrude on animals' natural territory - and perhaps rightly so. We have so many Sika deer here on the heath and their faces DO truly wear the most alarming scowl! On the other hand, an awesome stag graced me with his abiding presence the other day, moving through the underbrush in tandem with my walk along a solitary path... Think he was eyeing up my potato chips! :)) Love Kate xx
love how in tune with the natural world you always are. "Forest" speaks to the barriers that remain to we human folk, largely due to our own undoing of the natural order. go and sit again (I know you will). Dawn
This one is sad, because it's a nightmare come to life: we've encroached on their homes, their property, and take it as ours. Invaders, we humans are. Well done.

And I agree with Mr. Ed. Give them another chance. :)
Their distrust of humans sadly grows by leaps and bounds these very sad days. But give them another chance, Tiger Lily, and when they read your soul, they will welcome you!
I got a great laught at this one! Enjoyed, your graphics rival anessa's -- how did you do it, is it original? Couldn't seem to get the player to play (if that's music)
