The Forest Green

I see you in the forest green,

and in the sunlight filtered

through the trees,

dappled on the morning dew,

sparkling and radiant,

I see you.

 

I hear you in the forest green

as birds make melody

with rushing stream

which gently glides and trickles

over rocks along the way,

I hear you.

 

You softly come to me

and invade my senses,

rushing through me

like a gentle breeze,

calming my spirit,

drawing me,

casting out all of my fear.

 

Oh, how I long for the forest green,

for in this place,

we are one;

Perfect communion,

a whisper, a sigh;

I feel as if life has just begun.
