It was a very good sleep
and I know there was peace
somewhere in that night time mind
filled so with the forest of real desires
growing together entwined.

It’s a search and a hunt
up, down, within,
to find the one for these times
but intent is the guide within the mind
and I found the tree for today
last night in a very good sleep.

It’s not to say I won’t look again
and discover a new baby tree  
or one with dis-ease and no good for me
in the middle or off to the side
of all of those real desires.

But there’s always a one at the core
that lifts my heart to new heights
and it’s hard not to see and believe
it’s a symbol of you and me
growing together entwined.

It’s a beautiful tree; I’ve touched it, you see
sometimes, most times, in my night time mind
and always it is and forever will be
the most important tree
in my forest of real desires!

Dear Helen, you have outdone yourself with this one. YOU BREATHE, you are intensely alive and inspired. See what a good sleep can do?

Just perfect.

Love and hugs.

Dear Margherita - yes, a good sleep does wonders so I'm thinking to perhaps sleep all day AND all night but perhaps I won't be able to contain all that inspiration and then who knows what will happen.   Thanks for your lovely comment.

Love and hugs
Helen

A great poem Helen,

especcially the last verse.

A big hug my dear.

Thanks, Brett and Linday.  When the trees in the forest fall one by one and leave nought but fallow ground it's time to reconnoitre the mind and decide on some new desires.  First, however, you need the tools to clear away the fallen but sometimes they're hard to find when still there is love inside.  Something like that.
