INTO THE FOREST
The distant echoes
into the forest
I move in alone
how far I shall go
that’s yet unknown
but deep enough to gain my right
and
still not remain out of human sight
but then the forest is far too deep
how much will the darkness sweep
my mind will be a vast lonely desert
with none to converse
the darkness is now most intense
how will I observe
am I still moving into darker ravines
no my voice tells me
the other half of the forest
is like a path into awakening
as from the middle
of the density
I shall be like lightening
entering into the sun’s rising streaks
so out of the forest now I meekly
seek
light re-emerges and makes me wise
the darkness by now subsides
I am out in the open
for all to perceive
from the darkness
emerges a newer soul
and
now is about time
to reach my final goal

Transformative
I just totally get this and am haunted but the astonishing imagery and self awareness in this work. Not much else to say. It’s gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

dear lovedly,
the caterpillar has emerged from the cocoon, and the butterfly is before us! and you are lovely, our lovedly! and this poem shows just how you have grown before our very eyes, we have witnessed your transformation from fledgling to fully grown poet, and we stand in awe of you and your pearls of wisdom... favorite lines are:
The distant echoes
into the forest
I move in alone
how far I shall go
that’s yet unknown
but deep enough to gain my right
and
still not remain out of human sight
the very words first off your proverbial pen. because they are the hook that entices and intrigues!
well done dear poet, very well done, dear poet!

GRATEFUL MUCHLY KINDNESS FOR THIS POEM YOU TWO
