Somewhere in the dark forest
 
Somewhere in the dark forest
Wild flowers must grow
I haven’t seen them
But you must know
When tree’s whisper
The night’s echo
There must be a hush
Of a poem that weeps alone
There must be a silence
That walks out of margins
Like naked flesh
Dancing to music unknown
Somewhere in the dark forest
From the edge of a cliff
Drunken words
Fall into a poem
Walk over landmines
To a continent forlorn
Somewhere in the dark forest
In the midst of a riddle
Beneath the snow
A fire burns
And leaping flames
Let the poem go.
