Walking in the forest
lost and alone
she's forgotten where shes going
and forgotten why shes come
her pack is light to carry
but her heart is heavy and sad
the trees close in around her
and darkness fills her mind.
she hears a voice say,
child, remember all I told you
we are always with you
a heartbeat and breath away
just ask in trust and listen
we will remind you of your task
as she looked up and saw
a glimmer of light through the trees
the light increased
and she could see
who are you? she said
why are you here?
wings enfolded her gently
she leaned against their softness
while inside her mind the voice
caressed away all her fears
and whispered
I am angel of the forest
