Deep in the forest, among the trees

The wings of a dragon, soar with the breeze

A hint of mint from the gardens below

Cascades through the forest’s verdant show

Its fragrance, sweet as autumn air

Making this dragon seem more aware

Of the beings, who have entered here

And make their way too dangerously near

Far beyond the ridge, there’s a hidden lair

Where you’ll find, he’ll trap you then declare

There’s no escape from your own abduction

And soon, you’ll learn, the dragon’s destruction

For no human has ever left these woods

They’ve disappeared, vanished, gone for good

A reflection of light, caught in the trees, carried to them, on the wisp of a breeze, shined in the glow of the morning sun, trees gathered near, to see where it was from. Once, this forest was naked and dark, with nothing to live for, it remained vacant and stark. Until the day, when the rays appeared, and bathed them all, in a light, so clear; and their leaves blossomed, and they let out a sigh, beauty returned, with a rallying cry. After years filled with nothing but bark on the trees, now filled with thousands of emerald leaves, the forest, surrounded by visions of light, was never again, afraid of the night.

Daydreaming, thoughts, only of you

While sunlight comes, streaming through

The trees in the glen, where I hide away

And sit here, just wishing, for yesterday

This was our place, to make memories last

Now, it’s my place, of memories, past

I come here to listen, be one with the breeze

Sadness has claimed me, as time didn’t freeze

The moments we had, they’re no longer here

But you’ll stay in my heart, always, my dear

So, I’ll let the sun shine, let it warm my face

As I quietly sit, in this now sacred place

Because, I know, one day, together we’ll be

Until then, I’ll be waiting, right here, for thee

One lonely lantern, set the stage, for a show

Dotting each flower, with its luminous glow

Making the darkness dance, in the light

Like dozens of fireflies, to brighten the night

Silently, beguiling, with its magic, it creates

Peaceful and calming, each moment, sedate

Never really alone, with its radiance, incandescent

This one little light, making moments, effervescent

They left you a trail, quite an incredible sight

Invisible creatures that blended with light

Creating a passage, through the forest, so dense

With leaves, from the trees, but still you could sense

The aura of beings, who had passed this way

Quickly, before nighttime had turned into day

Making sure that their presence would surely be seen

On the deep trodden path, and everywhere, in between

So when darkness appeared, on the floor of the land

Their footsteps would guide you, like holding your hand

Through the pitch of the night, into sunlight’s first gleam

Tis then you’ll awake, believing all was a dream
