In the Shadows of a Once Existent Wood MAG
March 2, 2010
i'm sure
that once,
perhaps,
a long time ago
there were
trees in the view
with leaves of yellow
and green.
i imagine
i can still hear cascades
crashing in the distance,
their crystal water
gleams in the sunlit
wood.
the warm sun would have
shone in
through the extinct canopy
above
and the light would pour
upon the ground.
but now,
the only rays of light come from
the gleaming
star light years away
and the moon in a cloud-covered
sky.
they barely
illuminate the area.
a slight breeze gives me
a chill
as it wanders through
my hair,
as i stand
alone,
secluded from the rest
of the world
in this once-existent wood.
