Deep Forest I leave behind blue skies, Sunny meadows, emerald grass, And enter the deep forest, Where the light begins fading fast. 'Tis not a path I chose, But one that I must travel well; For at the end there lies A treasure greater than any wealth. I take a breath and step Beneath the branches of the trees; Steel myself against fear Search for courage in the fallen leaves. Though the thorns and brambles May tear my flesh and make me bleed, I'll walk this path bravely; My spirit, through the darkness, will lead. For once I reach the end I'll find the reason carrying me; My love, hope, and freedom All wait at the end there with Thee. If you would like to check out the song that inspired this, you can find it at http://geokai0.tripod.com I posted it so that it can be enjoyed by others as much as I enjoy it! ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, and I am all the better for it~ Terry A.

Sometimes we have to walk the darker path in order to find the light, or love... You took me with you, Terry. Thank you. |

TerryW -- my son is quite a fan of this music and has introduced me to it -- he has good taste. The poem was mystical and appropro for the times we live in -- I immediately related it to our troops overseas and all the dark forests they now walk. Thanks for the enjoyable read! Don't stay up all night now, ya hear! |

this was indeed brilliantly displayed and a wonderful work of art...as reading others thoughts on the purpose and perfection in all things is truly most enlightening. Thank you for sharing, cannot wait to see the web page. |
