I see a forest
full of life
so full of love
I am standing in a desert
looking into that
inviting forest
with its supple pond
I thirst for the water
need the shade
crave for the berries
I stepped into the lush forest
feeling the relief
tasting the food
I slept satisfied
I awoke to the shriek
of wild animals
I was encircled by
starving wolves
Over night my secret
haven changed.
