The Dark Forest

 

out near the dew on the ground frozen cud

 

deep darkened worms with maggot infested insides

 

the forest was hidden from the actual view from the stream

 

one step we took until we reached the entrance to this vast domain

 

green cloven briars on the sidelines permeates the brevity inside

 

rocks of scructured hallow cloven parchment

 

one step at a time we would climb in its dwelling

 

perhaps this is the place where Indians tread

 

dark ellusive columns of grand vestibules to discover

 

was it any wonder the sun radiated on its sphere

 

at last a wooden sctructure could it be a sign

 

the place where little fairy's & hobbits used to frequent

 

as I came closer to the dwelling there was an opening

 

but only scratched the surface of what lieth beneath

 

smoke had started to come forth from below

 

perhaps this was a doorway to Hell

 

there it was a lively dragon with scorching flames through its habitation

 

a dark figure approached me I wanted to run

 

but the voice insisted that I stay & pray

 

so I neglected to turn around and leave

 

with emmemse sadness there was new gladness

 

for the figure was an angel sent down from heaven

 

I glanced at the dragon who was now snearing in my direction

 

in a flash it was all gone & left me inside with a song

 

within my heart there beats a hidden melody

 

living in the forest of the land of make believe
