Among the Forest Moss

Deep within a far away tropical forest
Was where I found upon that day~
The most beautiful of natural carpets
Beyond compare come what may~

Tallest trees still and of used to be
Covered with natures moss of time~
Only nature could ever dare
Create such a beautiful sight sublime~

I stood in silence and total amazement
At what nature it could do~
If left alone in natural time
To create such magnificence it is true~

I felt as if I should not even walk
Upon such a heavenly place~
As every inch of it was a masterpiece
To do so I felt would be a disgrace~

I crept as light as possible
As I made my gentle way~
Took so many mental photographs
In the form of memories of that day~

Life their was abundantly so
So small and mostly out of sight~
Shadows hung and wild birds sung
I imagined this sight within moonlight~

Mosses every shape and size and shade
Of the colors green there was to see~
The silence there within dampest air
Spoke it's opinion as if to only me~

To leave without disturbing at all
And set this aged perfection free~
Years of growth and years of time
It took to create and to simply be~

A place that had not been visited
Had remained so for the longest time~
I left just the way I had come in
Took with me only memories sublime~
