Of hemlocks and mountains
Bethany Bella
I want to learn
I yearn
for the great unknown as wide and free
as the depths of the sea
​
See,
I used to long for the cerulean sea
Glittering in the
twilight be
​
But now my heart
sings for
anthems and rings
of hemlocks and mountains
and pine-cone things
​
The richness of scent
the quiet seclude
the echo of earthiness
inspires the mood
​
Of soft underfoot
the crunchy surprise
the color of forest
reflected in my eyes
​
How far I could sail
if given the chance
across the watery view
But for now I resign
to peace of mind
preferring the green to the blue
