As if it knows

[Truerenigma]

Wandering through the forest
when the rain trickles
down through the trees,

I come to a clearing
where the ferns grow densely
and what sun there is shines down through. Through ...what?
The sight commands a fallen knee and
begs worship of whatever it is that made
the forest and put me here to see it,
as the ferns glow, wet
in the dim grey light.What is the significance of the ferns? Imagery is good. Pointlessness is not.

But there is nothing worthy of my reverence,
no one or no thing that placed me here
or made what I see
that could I call god or point to and say,
“it is you who are responsible,
thank you;”Cut all this in red. The reiteration, especially in the N own voice, is not necessary only a world
throbbing violently with life
that will shrivel up and die,dragging me down with it,cliche. Also, maybe try a bit of metaphor or simile here; what throbs violently (lose, "with life") then shrivels up and dies? (even shrinks to grip the granite slate.)
as if it knows
I will remain thankful to
the end.

I think it has some promise, but it is an overdone topic so it will need to bring something new. It is well-turned; the turn to thankfulness does bring something new, but it will need a bit more than that.
