Senses Forest - Tumblr Posts

The Villagers Were Terrified Of The Forest,

The villagers were terrified of the forest,

And all that lied within.

This fear was only ever chorused,

Over a little too much gin.

One,

Trees who told the oldest tales,

Who had driven many mad without fail.

Two,

Water, radiating oh, so bright,

Making cinders of any onlooker’s eyes.

Three,

Grass, soft to the touch,

How it’d lead to your eternal slumber,

And turn you into dust.

Four,

Pine-needled path,

Inhale it,

Which…way was…out…of the forest?

Five,

Acorns, white as a cloud in a crystal sky,

Boiled and leached.

Treats, seemingly sweet,

Before they have you buckling at your feet.

The forest welcomed the local village,

And all whom lied within.

As they say,

There is some truth to every story,

Much to the human-craving forest’s chagrin.
