A Forest

Alone in the forest, I can hardly breathe.
The moon beams come through branches in this unreal light,
everything is suspended in an eternal moment.
The spider tiptoes, the moth flutters its wings,
the resin trickles and some drops of rain fall from the fir trees.
The leaves crackle under my footsteps
and the mystery of life and of night becomes tangible,
but I have no fear.
You take my hand and wrap me softly.
Never a kiss was more sweet, a passion more ardent.
Slowly you seep into my body and I slip away smoothly.
