Calmly under trusted branches I do sit In this warm woodland of mine, While flowers faint by my feet as their breath is taken away by the peace around us.
Bees lazily drift pass me, Dreaming of their life-giving nectar, And I, too, imagine such bliss Although mine takes on the shape of love - Love I have never tasted, But which brings light to my ever-blooming heart all the same.
Suddenly vivid wind sweeps into my woodland Blowing my hair and my thoughts away - Away from those hazy dreams of mine That only come alive in my mind.
I wrote this a year or so before experiencing love for the first time; dreaming of its full force which propels life forward, bringing colour to all it touches.
