Once again I visit the forest of tears,
I've occasionally seeked shelter there,
On and off throughout the years,
A lonely place where sadness dwells.

No need to speak in this special place,
Here we need only speak with our mind,
Share our woes and worries,
Leaving old troubles behind.

I enter the emerald rainforest,
Feel her peace caress my being,
I share my fears and tears with her,
She blesses me with awakened feelings.

She allows the sun to shine through the overhead canopy,
Her sunlight gently caresses my skin,
She listens as I cry and question,
She answers with love and a gentle grin.

I draw my strength and courage,
To fight another day,
She whispers of peace and love,
Just like our surrounds today.

She reminds me I am not slain,
That I can stand again,
That I have not to answer at the throne of God,
She gently lifts my pain.

'Go forth now my child,'
'Your strength and love are enough to carry you!'
'The secret is all so simple little one,'
'There is ever present love, hope and strength in all that you do!'

'Share this true beauty,'
'You can overcome all pain.'
'Remember Nature and all my teachings,'
'Within you lies the end to all pain!'

I was hesitant to leave her,
Never felt a love such as this,
Wanted to stay oh so safe with her,
In my cocoon of bliss.

But my real life was calling to me,
My son, husband and family,
One glance back over my shoulder,
And I was returned to my reality.

I leave with the knowlege fulfilled,
Knowlege of who and what I am,
And knowing what my time on Earth is finished,
I shall join her in that fabled beautiful land.

Assist her in her teachings,
Steer the wayward back on their paths,
I too will become a teacher of truth, beauty and love,
I will be filled with the true gifts of love....

you are the teacher...the goddess... the queen...
exquisite poem full of your spirit and grace...lovely imagery.
take care, jm

 Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules
Do you care what is thought by others about you
If this day is all that is promised to you
Do you live for the present, the future the past...

Janet Marie, I wasn't fishing for compliments at all, just some little fantasy

Isis, I have to agree with Janet Marie.

Great work, I loved it

 The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."
