If I had fallen for you then
\nYou\u2019d had taken me into your world like a prize you had won,
\nAnd carelessly in love I would have followed you,
\nOnly eyes for you,
\nfollowed you all the way.<\/p>\n
Hand in hand, all the way through sunlit lanes,
\npast beautiful trees and shining rivers,
\ndown to the depths, deep into the forest
\nWhere everything is soothing and dark,
\nno light that blinds you,
\nno sound to hurt your ears<\/p>\n
Truly beautiful,
\ngreen moss, elegant farns,
\nno step is heard.
\nLight of day seldomly breaks through here.
\nMassive trees,
\na dome of ever changing greens
\nfar above, beyond my sight.
\nI loose myself trying to count
\nAll the leaves. All yours.
\nTaking in light and air through
\nyour eyes, your smiles.
\nYour touches, your kisses.
\nThen sinking back again into this world of ever changing greens. <\/p>\n
Still counting the leaves above, my head is being twisted backwards
\nI must have missed how you dropped my hand, but you must have!
\nFor after a while I realize I am alone now.
\nDeep in your forest. Where have you gone?
\nThe wind\u2019s turning cold,
\nnight has come. <\/p>\n
I have been standing here so long looking up,
\nmy arms are stretched out to the skies,
\ndesperately almost I notice now,
\nI have become part of a tree,
\na beautiful tree, but still,
\nso still!
\nMy feet part of the roots,
\nmy body grown into the trunk,
\nmy arms turned into branches, reaching out.
\nFor you. For air. For light. For you. <\/p>\n
And I notice the other trees around me are women as well
\nWe are your forest:
\nYour mother,
\nyour sister,
\nyour daughters,
\nyour wife,
\nall women that ever were yours
\nand me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
