Elf in the Forest

In quiet contemplation,

You weave through the trees

At ease with the still peace around you

 

You, like the forest,

Are engulfed with mysterious tranquility,

But laced with subdued yearning

 

The stillness is but a façade,

Like the glassy surface of a lake

What nameless unknown lies beneath?

Only you know…

I can only guess

 

There’s so much

I still don’t know about you,

Perhaps I will when summer comes

When we both blossom

Into wondrous, beautiful beings

Maybe only then,

Will I know you

Completely.
