My Forrest

Standing alone in the empty forrest of life, I need only to love myself.
Bringing forth the knowledge of my own heart to survive and navigate.
Life has become easier as I feel freedom breach my soul with such ease.
I create my own path into the unknown and grow comfort in the darkness.

Breathing the fresh air as the cold settles into my lungs one moment at a time.
The sun also rises to warm my skin in the morn for I am grateful to exist.
It is peaceful here within the self loving cocoon that is now my entire being.
All of my needs are met while I wish for nothing except this feeling to answer.

There is a noise in the distance, a man's voice calling to me from know where.
I wake from my slumber and worry that I will feel warm in ways that may burn.
Felt your presence in my forrest as my home is slowly becoming yours.
As we met, the forrest asked for a moment of our time to share together.

Side by side flowers sprouted & bloomed on the new paths we walked together.
New feelings and understandings created a mystery of wonders.
This unknown feels different than before but I know it can destroy all that we are.
Carefully, our essence intertwines like ivy on an ancient tree growing steady.

Depart as life continues while you exit my forrest but we will meet again.
I never seemed to notice how life was so boring without all of these flowers.
The dark surrounding me at night is still comfort but now feels so hallow.
Though your skin smells fainty of smoke, I long to smell it now to remember.

I will see you again but for now I settle in my dreams where we are in my forrest...
