"The Forest" (poem)

I walked into the forest
I need the spirit of the trees
I need the animals around me
I need the cooling breeze.

The trees stand so tall around me
but sunbeams peek right through
it's a canopy of life
and my only thought is you.


The trees say I cannot leave them
They say don't go now to fly
You have only just arrived here
We don't want to say good-bye.


The moss is soft beneath them
and I find a place to lie
it's here I feel your spirit
it's here I feel your life.

As I lie there in this moment
I can hear their gentle sighs
In peace I feel your love
then slowly close my eyes.
