THE EMERALD GLADE

The emerald glade breathes soft and warm
As he moves along her paths
Traveling the ground he knows so well
He wanders amid fern and flower
Playing happily
Dancing endlessly
Howling long and low in the depths of her
His forest home with daylight scattered
Shimmering light beams flicker and glow

She rustles her leaves so gently
Soothing him in the warmth of her shadows
Stroking his fur with the nails of her branches
Caressing him as the ferns sway with his passing
Content in the knowledge that he is there
Protecting her from all harm

He walks his spiraled path from the edges
To the heart of her
And there he finds her soul
So gentle, so pure
He comes to her silently, steadily
Laying his great head in her gentle arms
Peacefully they sleep
