The Forrest of My Life

Sunlight occasionally shining through
Rain cascading down onto me
Mighty winds of change blowing cold
A clearing now and then
Life has been one long walk in the deep woods

Most of my life has been spent in shadow
Dense, dark and dank, no sunlight shining through
Stumbling, ever stumbling fighting my way
Bumps and bruises were all I ever found
Never giving up on my way to you

Just when the trees where thickest
Winter was at its coldest
No light was to be found
I nearly surrendered to the dark
Suddenly a ray of light found its way

Your love lit the path
I found the fields of freedom
Together we play in the meadow of our love
An eternal spring of warmth and bloom
Bed of green grass and blankets of wild flowers

Waterfalls of love washing over our souls
Springs of eternal happiness we drink from
Succulent wild melons and nuts to taste
Our minds and bodies nourished with love
Giving ourselves to the other our journey complete
