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
