Forest Bound Poem by Barry Middleton

take me to the forest
if only for a day

so I may dream again
like I did yesterday

take me in the spring
dogwood blooms in May

we can take the time
let's go without delay

take me in the summer
trees above will sway

we can stop to dance
till sunlight fades away

take me in the fall
pause with me and pray

all the fiery colors
are such a brief display

take me in the winter
there my soul will stay

until you join me there
beneath the final gray
