The Path

On the path into the forest
In the lake of my desire
With the touching of your fingers
My flesh is turned to fire

You're always in the falling leaves
In the tropics of my mind
We touched for one small moment
Your beauty left me blind

In the twilight you returned to me
You gently stroked my cheek
You lay with me and whispered
On a rock besides the creek

You are ever in the sunset
You float gently in the wind
You will ever be my lover
You will always be my friend

And what is life but elements
And what are you but dreams
My dear sweet child of nature
You speak to me in streams
