In forest green
I do walk
in the forest green
upon the soft paths
beneath towering trees
colorful birds
around me sing
and rich full scents
float upon the breeze
and at my side
they do walk
our love is full
and rich our dreams
and life is just
like a perfect dream
exactly how
I would have it be
and I do now
shake my head
with rueful smile
cease my daydream
the world I build
within my mind
of castles white
and damsels fair
like cotton candy
of sugar spun
has no substance
and will never be
for I do walk
in landscape bare
and only dust
is upon the breeze
no castle does
lie upon this path
and no maiden fair
does wait for me
my daydreams but
are a fantasy
building disappointment
that does await me
yet I would still
this world escape
if there was some how
to live with in my dreams
