Forest Dreams



Forest dreams as tender as a whisper 
soft spoken wishes in the penumbra of night 
Divinely assembled beneath a scried heaven 
we live, we breathe, we follow...

The evening plants begin to respire 
and the trees close up for the evening retreat.   
We sit and meditate while the dusk settles in,   
the candles burn surrounding us with light ! 
Woodland scents permeate the humid air 
 black orchid with notes of black truffle, 
patchouli, and vanilla, rum-soaked in black. 
 
We are never lost when we find ourselves 
centered as a Buddha in the thick of light
Tibetan flutes and magical newts by the lake 
each breath we take is an intake of peace 
we are semi-aquatic beings in the wildlife 

Forest  reveries as vivid as lucid dreams of old 
we stay green and pend, until we turn to gold.

We seem to have drifted apart. Part of my amnesia which comes and goes. A lovely poem. We have a small forest but after my accident I was not allowed to drive. Hugs.
