In the Forest of My Dreams
try as I may I don’t remember
the forest from the trees
neither surreal lands journeyed
nor celestial seas I’ve navigated
all faraway beyond our earthly realm
no not one meant for mere mortals
in the morning the slate wiped clean
I have no hint of recollection
a vague reminiscence of mystic travels
amnesia of my rendezvous with you
I can’t remember the trees
from the forest of my dreams
but if that’s the price to pay
that’s fine that’s fair as long as
I keep waking with a smile and
in a haze the memory of you
knowing some day my day will come
and together we will be
your hand in mine you’ll walk me
through the forest and the trees
