THROUGH THE WOODS I MET YOU

I entered the woods

Through the old lost road

Of a summer evening late,

When the night-air cooled on the leaves

When the birds whistles their mates

Dancing flowers, bright green flies

The scratch and rattle of wind-tossed trees

I heard as I walked

A soothing hum, a slow tune

I was puzzled but my impulse drove

Through the slow falling of the leaves

There was darkness yet a call

I was lost

In the melodious tune

In the sunset as the twilight arrived

Beneath the twisted trees clawing to the sky

I saw your eyes, narrowed down

Adjusting the strings, playing it

You sat there so innocent and sweet

You looked up and you smiled

I stepped up to you, I sat

And you continued to hum

Your voice, your face

You were like an angel sent from heaven

When I first met you

I had hearts in my eyes

Listening your voice

Holding my eyes with yours

I never knew a stranger more than it

Yes a stranger but more

That’s how I would see you

That’s how I would remember

When I first saw you….
