Jungle Secrets
Abandoned home,
Untouched by love,
Unused by souls,
Alone and lonely,
Crying for camaraderie,
Longing for a touch.
The jungle answers —
One vine at a time,
One tree at a time,
With compassion
And completeness,
The jungle circles
And shrouds
The forgotten abode —
Once home to
Children laughing,
And parents loving
Deep in the night —
Once home to bacon-y
Mornings
And beef stew
Evenings.
Now alone in moonlight,
Alone at daybreak,
Alone in the rain,
Alone in the shadows,
Longing for someone,
Anyone
To warm the chill,
To fill the empty hollows.
The jungle answers —
One vine at a time,
One tree at a time.
