The lush forest
taunts me
reminds me of how I have failed.
She was meant to be safe here
to stay here
until her mother returned,
and now both mother and daughter
are lost.
I failed
to protect them
the charges of my King
and I return
with news
of loss
and uncertainty
but I swear
I will find the girl
or her fate,
rather than linger here
in the safety of the woods.
The canopy of leaves
feels oppressive
as if there is too little air
let beneath them
punishing me
for my mistakes.
Sweet lady of the woods
forgive me
I will not rest
until I have set things right.
