In amongst the trees

Walking in the forest
With an unsettling breeze
Can I hear a whisper?
In amongst the trees
A creature scurrying
Rustling up the leaves
Trick of the light, maybe
A conscience to appease
Heart is pounding faster
Bringing me to my knees
Surely now is not my time
In amongst the trees

Woa, realized what this was about as I got to the end. I'm glad the MC lasted long enought write about it! It's a lovely forest image with the rustling leaves. And I could think of a lot worse ways to go...

Could use a little punctuation, also has little grammatical errors. otherwise it's kind of fun to read

Nice piece, but would suggest a bit more punctuation and possibly some line revision for effect:
- Walking in the forest
With an unsettling breeze;
Can I hear a whisper
In amongst the trees?
Unseen creature,
Scurrying,
Rustling,
Among the leaves;
Trick of light?
maybe
A conscience to appease.
Heart pounding faster
Bringing me to my knees
Surely now is not my time,
In amongst the trees.

Just a few suggestions. Overall..I like this poem...can be taken literally or allegorically. Nice.
