Touch Me- Dusk

``
                                                           Dusk,
                                                          I  walk
                                                   thro' the woods
                                                swirling   whiteness,
                                              thick  blanket  of   mist ;
                                            cold ,  it  touches  my  skin.
                                       my   fingers   reach   out   to   feel
                                      the  delicate   white  petals  wrapped
                                  oh!  so  fragile ,  white  bunches  in  green;
                            smell   sweet  ,    the   wild   lilies -  of - the - valley.

                               I  pick   some   flowers,  a  sound   startles  me,
                                     forest  with  its  tall  dark  trees  scary.
                                          a  rustle   behind   me,   I  see
                                         a  deer  leaps  across  my  path
                                            fades  in the thickets  green.
                                               hear   trees  whispering
                                                    frozen   I   stood.
                                                    been touched by
                                                          the dark
                                                           woods.
