What the skyscrapers won’t tell you

There is a big forest not far away
with knowledgeable mushrooms
and moss that can keep secrets
but the stubborn man won’t leave his city,
putting his faith in himself
as he dictates to the birds
how to fill his empty places
but they can’t hear
as they fly above the weather.
Scaling heights cannot be done
just using elevators.
There must be windsong too.
