I wandered through the forest
whispered to the rushing pine
looking for a new direction
but your face I couldn't find.
So I climbed atop the mountain,
screamed your name into the dark
skipped stones across the mirrored lake
as you once skipped my heart.

When I woke within this aching
burning bright, my one desire
you were hiding there in shadow
standing tall with eyes of fire.

You lay me down and took me
as the moss it cooled my spine
and I shivered deep within the haze
of your skin touching mine.
We stayed that way til sunset
seen by none but us alone,
but my screams were heard as echoes
In the valley down below.
