Forgotten

Long ago,
we lived in harmony and respect,
learning from nature and
following the voice of our Father.

But we have forgotten.

Now we only listen to
each other
and hear our own voices
echoing back to us.

Sometimes, if we are still enough,
we might catch a glimpse
of some long-forgotten wisdom
which the natural world
has not forgotten,
we might still hear
the whispers of our Father's voice
carried on the wind...
