Analysis of Surviving in the forest
Eileen Goldberg 1950 (Brooklyn)
Darkness falls in the forest,
another day about to end.
The creatures still as silence grows
and the shades of darkness descend.
Another day fully accomplished by
all of us large, and small.
So many ways we’ve succeeded
at existing, success for us all.
