Analysis of A Forest Bench

A Walk in the Woods

We meet in the woods, you and I
A chance encounter; An afternoon stroll
Two souls; separate wanting, but common desires

Your longing for home and country
My quest for truth and meaning

A search un-ending we seek solace in the woods
Cautious, unsure we reach out for love
Our hearts longing; we embrace desire
A chance to trust and care

We walk together

We talk of simple things; Of times gone by
Adjusting our walls, doors open to feelings

Noticing, but not, our hands touch and hold
Our eyes delight in each other's intensity

We walk and ponder each other’s mysteries
Of what is and what could have been

We smile a lot, but understand the pain
We seek assurance through our senses

We relax and enjoy each other's passions
We share secrets and become friends

We become more....
