In that forest, which is my soul, there stands many living trees of varying species, size and age.
This forest has no true name, for what name do you give your heart, as these trees are the people I love.
They are family, friends and lovers, and there is some I have never met, but only seen from afar.
When times are dark, or simply when I am alone, I walk through the forest revisiting the trees that are there.
I often climb that hill, which is at the centre of the forest and scan the forest with a gaze across the tree tops.
I see many familiar trees, from the old oaks of life long friends, to sturdy elm that are my family.
On that day, which I first saw you, I had walked the forest slowly and finally climbed that hill.
I stood at its peak and turned slowly around, as I have done a hundred times before and would do a hundred times more.
The sun was out, as it always is and the forest was alive with colour, sound and movement.
I saw you there, amongst my favorite trees, tall and proud stood a willow, so I stopped and marveled at your presence.
This beautiful willow captured me, for I stood there for hours, as the sun was slowly descending.
The sun fell behind your branches, and a musical wind, which could only be your voice, sang out.
This wind caused your branches to sway slowly and they parted to let the sun pour through.
The forest stopped, for my heart had stopped and all thought what a beautiful smile, pure and full of love.
Time froze, even if time has no meaning in this place, and I bathed in the light of the newest tree in this forest.
The trees around the willow turned to her light, for she was now the true centre of the forest.
It has been many days since your arrival, and I find myself returning more often than usual.
For this place is no longer an escape from life, but an extension to my life and to my existence.
For this reason, I wish to thank you and I hope you will stay in the forest as long as you are able.
Today I have returned to the forest, to the hill and to the willow, for I still watch this willow from afar.
The willow is in an entirely different world, but one-day I will have the courage if not the opportunity to meet.
On that day, there shall appear a new sun, a new forest and a new soul, for ours will merge into one.

I absolutely love this poem Maj, the in depth descriptions that you've used makes it just brilliant and beautiful. Words fail me now, but let me just say that I'll hope to see more poems from you posted on the board!

Kristy:Thanks so much for reading it, and I am so glad you got something out of it.
As you can see from the date, I wrote that last year. Since then I have written a couple of songs about Aly, one of which I may post here in a little while.
If you want to read them you can go to my Aly fan site which there is a link in my signature.
If you want to read any of my other work (non W/T related) you can check it out here. Just click on the 'P & S' button.
Thanks again.
