Forest

I am walking into the forest,
Even in the midday, it feels cool under the canopy of trees,
yet, the sun shining on the distant bright green grass warms my heart,
the ground below trees is under the shadow like my hope, yet, there are rays of sunlight piercing and illuminating it.
There are countless dead dry leaves fallen to the ground like my disjointed thoughts, yet, fresh thoughts are sprouting like green seedlings and saplings,
will they ever grow into giant trees?
