Awakening, to the Forest

[xiane]

 

flash of sun through the trees

like the shock of sudden insight

hidden secrets under low-growing branches

amidst the berries and ferns

 

there are things unspoken between you and I

there are things we need not say

we can speak without using impersonal words

we can speak through the touch of a hand

 

I buried my heart in the rich forest earth

at the foot of an old oak tree

I gave my toll to the river and I

sang my song for the sky

 

what they will bring me, I dare not say

I cannot guess, I might only dream

but cloudless nights reveal more than just stars

and the river has washed away my fears
