The dark forest surrounds her
But deeper into it she goes
For the only way can go
Is the only way she knows
So forward on, into the darkness
Darker and scarier still
The little girl travels
All she wants is to get to a place… familiar
She travels, and walks, cautious
Until she finds a guide
The guide and the little girl
Follow through the forest together…
Until she realises, it’s the wrong way
“This is not the way I want to go” she responds
“How would you know anyway?” the guide questions
As he leaves her… alone again
She cries, in despair
To be alone in the forest
Or guided through a direction
Not the way her heart wished
She met another guide, cautiously
To which, the guide expressed to her
That he would care for her
As long as she followed his direction
So she smiled
And followed the guide
For it was better to be in the darkness
With someone who cared
The girl grew into a woman however
And this is where the story dims
For the woman realised
The path of the guide, was different to hers
She saw a way out
She saw a light out of the forest
“I can see it! Look! It’s there!”
She responded with glee
“That’s not the path for me!”
He sadly muttered…
And she realised something
That her will and goal
Was not to get out of the forest at all
It was to find the guide
And help him… find his path… together
So she turned around
Away from the light only she saw
And held his hand, smiling
And walked through the forest, together
