The Forest Child

The forest child in me 
Is longing for the rivers to let her go free
As I take refuge on the beach
That someone thought to teach
Me was there
And I’m so grateful and I care
About what will happen to this next generation
Will it be beyond an education
As I meditate
And something puts me in another state
Where I can fly
And I am not afraid to die
Into incandescent blue
Just because you
Clutch onto fear
Doesn’t meant that love is not near
Ready to abide
And something in me hide
Away this secret deathless realm
From the people who would submerge the helm
Like the girl with the degree
In deciding what to do with me
When I confess
That everything in that red dress
Always felt the same
And she knows my name
But she doesn’t get my soul
If I told her each wave roll
Would she understand
And I decide to forgive my man
