Our magic land



You and I found a magic land
So we went there hand in hand
Where soft hills we did explore
Limpid pools enticed us even more

Supple trees swayed from side to side
A dark forest welcomed us inside
Where woodland scents aroused us there
We frolicked in secret without a care

Sun’s arrogant glare now was hidden
Quiet whispers were not forbidden
Life’s crude ways were left far behind
And its torments were out of mind

Oh what magic was there that day
We just didn’t want to come away
When I stole that last kiss from you
You said “Don’t tell a soul, that’s taboo"

  10. I always love a chance to escape into nature. We modern humans don't do enough of it. We might be more sane otherwise.

  12. Personification of the sun reminds one of John Donne's 'unruly sun'-discovery of romantic beauty of nature

  18. Hi, really pretty and I love the invitations to walk in the woods hand in hand with my sweet husband and enjoy the scenery. I wish I had the ability to rhyme and create rhythym. Can't even spell these days. You are a very talented poet. ;)
