No, she is no raider of the tombs for treasure
But is one to never back down from adventure
When she heard tales of the forest from others
Her curiosity peaked in knowing more about it
Others cautioned her to be careful going in
For many have tried only to be lost and broken
She was not others though, no, she’s got this
The woman told those who knew about the forest
When she returns she’ll bring with her a gift
So she ventured forth into the unknown
Similar excursions helped her initially
But experiences are always different
This one was unlike any she seen before
Both the forest and she had something in store
The forest is a learning opportunity for many
To know where to improve and understand yourself
A chance to get a glimpse and know what to look for
So when the next journey unfolds into other woods
They will be ready and able to come back victorious
As she walked in she had ample daylight and it was fun
Noticing the wonderful, interesting qualities around her
It lasted a while until she tried to go deeper in the midst
Suddenly the sunlight dimmed and the air chilled a bit
As if the forest was saying it’s time to go back on her way
Clever was she, though, and brought a jacket with her
Packed in her bag was food as well for nourishment
She knew she wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon
The end will be worth it, just try to turn the key
Venturing further she felt something in the ground
A subtle vibration that could be felt in her feet
She was getting closer to the center of this journey finally
Her intellect kept her grounded, tact and aware of what to do
The beauty she has brought warmth to cast away the chilly air
That personality which rarely ventured here stirred the floor
She even sang along the way showing her strength and passion
As if she were a rock rolling among the now pulsating earth
And then she made it to the heart of the forest
The ground lay still and the sunlight rose up
There was the gift that many others sought for
Her key worked as she embraced what she found
It was time to come back to the loved ones
Knowing she did the improbable and was happy
There they were, friends and family, awaiting her
It took what felt like months but was worth it now
Many smiling faces filled with laughter, celebrating
For as she walked out she brought the gift laid within
Suddenly the forest looked so human, free, and she knew
Taking a chance paid off, for she won and opened his heart to love. . .
