2. "Mystical Autumn Forest"

Written 2/15/1999

Secrets of Autumn whisper across the sky
Casting a golden aura on all that captures the eye
There is a secret place forbidden to the mind
Only I can venture there claiming this enchanting place mine

Fantasy, yes, but perhaps it is real
One can not understand if a dream had been lied
Still, imagine with me this forest I’ve dreamt
The time quickly travels toward the night

Twilight embraces the two of us
An unworldly blue replacing Autumn’s glow
You trace the edges of my countenance
Your touch so gentle and slow

The forest creates a mystical atmosphere
The sounds of nature and our breathing are soft as we lay
Your smile is much more sweet and moving
Than a scarlet rose on Valentines Day

Laying on you, I feel your breathing
In soft rhythm with my own
The Autumn night is cool, yet
A strong warmth comes from your eyes alone

Your embrace makes me feel comforted and weak
Like I could never walk alone or even move away
Your gentle kiss and soft voice convince me
That there is no reason why I shouldn’t stay

Every day that goes by, every moon that becomes new
A wish in my heart keeps a hope that my dream will come true
