A Forest Painting

You sit there and imagine
Water pouring down the river
Mini waterfalls go splash
You hear the leaves of trees blowing in the wind
You hear the birds cheeping
See the deer galloping
You hear animals dashing through the water
You focus on the small animals,
Think about the big animals
What animals would live there–you wonder
But you would only know
If you were in the picture you painted
