Forest of Love

In green penetrations of love

There is a fine, broad entrance made

Into memory that is endless and bright

As the emergence into a forest clearing

That evokes the applause

Of  startled birds

Within the heart into song

At the sight of  a man and woman

Who have found their way

Quietly into each other's arms

Inside the sanctuary of nature,

The birds alighting on the sweet limbs of trees

To instill their songs into the woods

With a gentle swoon of pinion

And kiss of feather into the air

Inside the forest of love
