Miles deep
No view ahead
Merely circled
By echoes of the dead
Not a place to drown
But nonetheless, you sink
The evergreen engulfs you
In its shadow, you shrink
Souls are rampant
Looking for light
That left long ago
In their final night
The scent of nature
Doesn't bring worth
When this sea of trees
Makes you one with the earth
The leaves are green
The branches, strong
You'd think they bring comfort
And you technically aren't wrong
It's as quiet as can be
No disruptions, not even a breeze
It's just you and the spirits
Drifting through the Sea of Trees
