The air is still here

The tree tops move gently in the breeze that exists up there

The outside world is muffled by the densness of the canopy above

Birds can be heard chirping happily all around

A squirrel scrambles up a tree

The ground crunches beneath my feet

Pine cones crackle in the sunshine

The beams of light infiltrate down from the invisible sky above

A whole population of all sorts of hidden creatures great and small are here

Safe and happy far away from humankind

Peacefully living together in the sanctuary of the wood

Their secret place is safe with me
