She No Longer Remembered

(I long to go back to the deep woods. The solitude, with only the company of the wildlife, beckons me.

Thank you, Doug, for this great write! )

She No Longer Remembered

She went to live among the trees
On the banks of a river wide
The wind was her music
The forest was her guide
She no longer remembered
Why she had cried

Choices

Choices

I go to the mountain side
of the house to cut saplings,
and clear a view to snow
on the mountain. But when I look up,
saw in hand, I see a nest clutched in
the uppermost branches.
I don’t cut that one.
I don’t cut the others either.
Suddenly, in every tree,  
an unseen nest
where a mountain  
would be.

Dancing in the Woods

 

Dancing In The Woods

Time is gonna take my mind

and carry it far away where I can fly

The depth of life will dim the temptation to live for you

If I were to be alone silence would rock my tears

’cause it’s all about love and I know better

How life is a waving feather

I’m dancing in the room as if I was in the woods with you

No need for anything but music

Music’s the reason why I know time still exists

Time still exists

Time still exists

Time still exists
