Lightning Forests

I am walking through lightning forests
filled with apple blossoms of fire.
Above the treetop clouds are swirling
misty bodies uncertain and near.

Holding your hand in this forest,
we are walking side by side.
I am walking on my own path,
Your moving as with my mind.

I go running.
I go explore a hidden nook.
You come following
Because you saw a nearby brook.

We are explorers
finding places within our hearts.
Brand new stories
Tales we never thought we'd impart.

Tell me angel,
Did you ever believe that this could be?
This here, our story,
A stranger tale did you ever see?

I've never heard it.
I've never seen it told before.
Our secret tale
That we share with all we adore.

Fantastic journeys
into pools of dreaming light.
Flowing water
Burying the demons of night.

How can together
have been so powerful from the start?
How can this story,
be even more powerful because we can part?

I don't understand it.
I don't pretend to get these things.
I just accept it.
I just adore your tastes and heart.

As we walk through this lightning forest
with fire burning between our eyes
I look forward into clouds of mist
that shield the future into disguise.

Tell me the truth.
When you watched the dark sun burn in that land
Did you ever believe
that you'd be holding my hand?

Tell me honest
When you saw lightning burst from the sky
Did you think it real
when you would find love this deep to feel?

Tell me, lover
when you feel our hearts burning as one
Did you imagine
that it would be even stronger when they burn apart?
