The Forest

I open my eyes No memory, no fear, no tears The forest enveloping my whole I stand, though, i stumble I ran, though i tripped The bright sun glares above me The trees growing with every step With every branch, a smile With every flower, a tear I journey through the forest With tears and with fear. I see the ocean blue from afar The waves crashing against the shore I look back at the forest behind With birds and flowers growing evermore I take a step into the sandy beach The forest stopping behind my aching feet I take a step further and there i saw The sun fading, the moon rising
