White Forrest

The snow covered ground sparkles like diamonds
White trees shimmering like ice laden glass
Each branch reflects an image, a memory
Some painful and others joyful
I can see my breath even though the air is not chilled
Yet the snow falls and grows in depth on the ground
A hint of jasmine, lavender, cherry blossom tickle my nose (scents of you)
The only sun here is the bright moon
Illuminating the this white forest so elegantly
This forest is like a dream that isn't a dream
One that I don't want to end, I feel you here
With a hope that I can see your face again
I can't hide behind my fake smiles here
I am true here, knowing where I belong, afraid of only never seeing you again
As I wonder this vast, never ending white forest lost and alone
I dream of seeing you again
Remembering how much I loved, and do love you although you are gone
resting against a tree, I begin to cry as I long for you
Watching my memories reflecting in the branches of the trees
The hole left in my heart helps me see everything that I took for granted
Reflecting everything that I missed
As my tears fall down my face and crash to the snowy ground
My yearning heart beats more heavily as I lose control of my emotions
Watching my tears sink into the snow
Watching them give life to a single stem, as the bud starts to blossom
A beautiful rose, blood red and bright in glorious color
Cautiously plucking it from the ground and taking in its aromatic fragrance
It smells like you, and I remember holding you close
Soon another rose pushes its way through the soft, gentle snow
Leading me on my way into the forest, deeper and further into this dream
To the heart of the forest, stopping beside a lake calm as smooth as newly formed glass
Jasmine, lavender, and cherry blossom the smells catch my attention and direct me
As I turn I see falling cherry blossoms and hear the wind whispering around me
Upon seeing the sweet vortex of cherry blossoms, I see your face
Losing my breath, completely stop breathing as your presence makes me aghast
Watching you move toward me, extending your arms touching my face
With such a tender touch I melt
Missing you so much I cry as you lean forward and kiss me, so gently
You tell me, "Move on my love, awake from this dream. I am safe, waiting for you by the eastern gate"
you push the dozen roses into my chest
As you walk away you turn and whisper, "I love you now and forevermore"
As you disappear into the swirling cherry blossoms
The forest begins to fade away to black
Screaming, "I love you too baby, don't go"
I awake with a startle, realizing I am in my bed and morning has come
Alarmed by a sharp pain in my hands I look and see that I am holding the dozen blood red roses
And jasmine, lavender, and cherry blossoms permeate the air
Seeing your picture surrounded by the beautiful blossoms
I wonder as I wonder if it was really a dream or if you were hear
A single solitary wisp of wind blows into my room
Whispering, "I love you"
