Deep In The Wilderness

Deep in the wilderness,
The swaying trees watch silently as the protectors of the forest,
Wily wildlife evades detection from predators,
Fast fish swim in the bubbling stream,
Dark caves house brown, black and grey fruit bats
Pretty plants scattered around the forest floor,
Colorful insects decorate the air,
Deep in the wilderness.
