Are they the Cliffs from SNEE?

No, they're different cliffs. I was referring to the phrase "Up here, I am king,"

Regardless, very nice!

Thanks

That's a beautiful poem.

[The Abacus]

Whispers in The Silent Forest
In the silent forest,
The wind does not whistle,
The birds do not sing,
For in the silent forest,
Nature is mute.

When there is no observer,
The trees begin to whisper,
What are they speaking? I wonder,
Are they communicating?

Whispering,
No more than quiet whistles,
Through the hollow cavities in the branches of trees…
What trees are these,
That whisper at will?
What trees are these,
That puzzle me with their mysteries?
Forever to baffle all who wonder,
Impossible to manifest,
A puzzle that will remain unsolved for eternity.
For the silent forest will remain,
Forever shrouded in the mist of ambiguity.

Nice piece of literature there.

Is it about the Cog Trees, or just general about life and trying to find quiet?

There is no specific inspiration – it's just a random idea, nothing more.

In the events of stopping great acts of evil
Do we ourselves, become that great evil
