Forever In Your Heart

I took a long walk onto the curvy wooded path,
evening sun slowly faded into cotton candy skies,
a most magical evening to remember, summer dies,
as fall comes in celebration of death,

Walking past green ferns, underneath tall pines,
I sat for a bit, taking a moments rest,
peacefulness, so serene, life changes,
this was a fork in my road, I had to think.

Had all of life came to this? the now? here?
what lies ahead? on this long walk in the wood,
reflection came as I peered into a small leaf,
filled with yesterdays rain, lots of rain,

Stormy weather, I guess I am a storm chaser,
here I am in the middle of this huge forest,
filled with tall green trees,
my vision is clouded.

I have to decide the path, to finish,
I want to see the golden meadows that await,
meadows filled with sunshine at the end of the forest,
I gather myself up, onward I press,

Taking each step, day by day,
one day I will reach that field,
I press on, not looking back,
the shadows are leaving me.

I can see a glimmer of gold through the trees,
miles and miles away, seems out of reach,
but I press on, happiness awaits for me,

For tomorrows dreams await me at the end
of this path,

no more words need I express.

and so, I press on.
