                                       The Forest
 

   You first saw it
 from across the meadow,
     an inviting stretch of deepest green
  beckoning,
 that for which you have
 searched
  nay, even yearned,
              but only just discovered
            Some things are found
 only when both the heart and the mind
                                are in harmony
                                        open to
                              new beginnings
                          and new pathways
                            into the soul.
