Rain Forest

 

A timeless stare amid shades of green.
You walk across limb to limb
through a thousand years, you've
lumbered here, watching time
with calm curiosity.

We've taken down, your mighty realm
We've taken down your royal glare
You're emerald skin no longer shines
as brilliantly, as once it did,
so long ago.

Under warm, artificial lights, you gently sleep
and dream about a distant Forest ,

 where once you reigned with Dignity
no boundaries to hold your Arrogance.
