Deep
inside the forest
Where
even light treads with care
Are
two young boys, carefree and happy
Away
from the worries of the vast world
Friends,
brothers, and partners in silly crimes
They
laugh, giggle, and play with abandon
Until
mud streaks cover their bodies
Making
it impossible to see who is who
The
little brains spark with an idea
The
sounds of the rushing brook
The
chill of the cool, clean water
An
answer to their biggest trouble yet
Wash, scrub, and pour – the bath begins
As
nature laughs in delight
Protecting
the innocent smiles
At
least until they stay in her care

Brief Backstory: Kids, forests, and nature bring such positivity and innocence. One look at the picture, and I knew I had to use it for my poem.
