A Forest Wish By Woodswalker Walk quietly in the forest and listen to the trees dearming together. What do they whisper? Their quiet song has gone on forever. "Be at peace. We will shelter you And rock with you like a mother with her child." Ah! If only this quiet forest could be waked to anger! If these gentle trees would conspire to say "Enough! No more will be stand mute and be slaughtered. Beware, chainsaw wielders, or we'll fall upon you and crush you with our branches." O beloved mother forest, if only you would wake and save yourself.
