Meet Me in the Woods

Meet me in the woods
Where the road is long
And the path is narrow
Where the pines are thick
And the forest is rich
Where the gravel is uneven
And you cannot see your feet

Where the forest smells of evening’s musk
Where the pines are sweet like
Mint leaves in your mouth
Where twilight meets dusk
With night’s perfume

Meet me in the woods
Where the world is asleep
But your mind is awake
With possibilities
Where your body is asleep
But your spirit is awake
With sensibilities
Meet me in the woods
And I’ll show you who I am.
