' THE LONELY FOREST '
I'm walking through a forest
But something's very wrong,
It's strangely quiet,
Dark and lonely tonight
I walk not knowing where I go
Not caring I suppose,
Just watching and listening
Seeing nothing, hearing nothing
Emptiness all around - sadness
Like an empty soul - wandering,
With no place to go - no purpose.
I feel fear - but not for me,
What is it, what's happening, why,
I can't hear the creatures
Of the night calling,
No rustling of the leaves
No babbling of the brook
The stars have lost their light
The moon has no glow,
Where is the Keeper of the forest
The one who brings life
and beauty to this place
I hear a voice - like a whisper
Soft and gentle but lonely and afraid,
Please do not leave me,
I hear the cry, What can I do
For I am nothing
I'm just a man,
A lowly creature
That I am
Wait, I see what it is
The forest has been abandoned,
Nothing stirs, except me and the voice
That cries out for comfort
What is it that I can do
*To mend a broken heart*
To bring life once again
To this desolate place
I will stay, I will be a comfort,
I will share the loneliness and pain.
I will call upon the Keeper of the forest
Until all is well
Until the stars bring back their light
And the moon again glows,
Until the forest is restored to life
And the voice that called to me,
Whispers - softly and gently,
It's okay now , you can go
TO MEND A BROKEN HEART CHALLENGE
