Tonight I am a forest

Tonight I am a forest

Full of whispers in my leaves

I have a secret message

To tell you from the trees

But first you must come closer

Let go of what you think

You know of all the questions

And the answers that you seek

These woods won’t take no prisoners

Of maidens true or fair

My boughs cannot protect you

From life’s hardness and despair

But bring with you your grieving

To my hidden pools this night

Your tears can fall here freely

Come bathe in the tender light

Of the moon that’s risen softly

To recite her haunting song:

“Only fools will hold so tightly

To ideas of right and wrong”.
