Into the Verdant Wood

The green calling
drawing us in
into the verdant wood
while staying on the road

The forest wrapped around us
heading north on the road
drawing us ever onward
for treasure yet untold

The lush spring forest
before the green hides all the secrets
revealed for an instant
wrapped in green below
