Woods

How I long to walk 

On this path, with you

Wearing the anklets

Of fallen and dried leaves... 

Inhaling the scent of wild flowers... 

Breathing deep,  

Pampering my senses...

I wait for birds to sing.. 

I wait for the butterflies to sit...

I wait for you to..

Suddenly cover my eyes..

And ask "Who Am I" ?

I touch your fingers, smile

Say.. "You I know"..

Then together we wander

Along the forbidden path

How does it matter..

How long this evening shall last..

For I know.. I shall live

An eternity in an hour..

As I silently wait

Wait for all that is beautiful...

Are you listening ? 

Do not call me back...

If you find me lost... 

For I shall not return

If woods keep me.. 

Even if you beckon

I shalt not return.. !
