The forest stream


The forest stream

By May Kwek

Let us pause here my friend
Where the trees and waters meet
Where the air is silent and clear
And the breeze is sweet

For look the forest stream flows
Treading through the trees
From the highest mountains it roams
To the intrepid seas

Oh how different the forest is
From the shinning shore
 The stream shall know the forest’s quiet
And the ocean’s roar!

Yet listen to its song
So joyful and light in the sun
In the moment that it is here
The forest and it are one

Its sparkle lights the gentle banks
And carries the fallen leaves
And the song which it plays forever
Is the tune of the breeze

In this moment, yes a moment
A moment is eternity
For the sea is miles away
And all around are trees
