Forests
Towering behemoths
Densely packed living wood
Silent yet alive
Enveloping the hills
Sustaining life
Harboring solitude
Providing jobs
Precious commodity
Roaring seas on land
Entrapping barrier
Insulating buffer
Scenic attraction
Sight preventing
Old and dead
Young and alive
Green and black
Grey and brown
Monolithic
Inferior
Fog shrouded
Rain covered
Never-ending
Ever shrinking
Forests
