I SLIPPED OFF INTO THE NOTHINGNESS OF NIGHT CARRESSED BY THE NEEDLES DROOPING FROM PINES
ALMOST SILENT FOOTSTEPS OF CREATURES, UNSEEN, SCURRYING TO AND FRO
LOOKING FOR A MORSEL OF GREENERY, MAYBE AN INSECT AMONGST THE HONEYSUCKLE VINES
ME, AN INVADER, NON RECLUCTANT TO JOIN THERE FORBIDDEN WORLD...SO

STEPPING LIGHTLY TO DISTURB AS LITTLE OF THEIR WORLD AS POSSIBLE I MOVE ON
WANTING TO BLEND SO I COULD ABSORB THE PEACE THAT ENGULFED ME
REACHING RATHER BLINDLY FOR THE UNSEEN PATH, THOUGHTS ARISING THAT IT MIGHT BE GONE
NIGHT EYES TAKING OVER, CALMNESS ENSUING, LONGING FOR THE WORLD I CANNOT SEE

MISTAKEN IDENITIES I'M THINKING, AM I WHO AND WHAT AND WHERE I'M SUSPOSED TO BE
TO MUCH, TO EARLY ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE SMALL WORLD I AM TRESPASSING INTO
A SHADOW, MAYBE MAYBE NOT, FADING FAST IF IT WAS EVEN THERE, SOMETHING TRYING TO FLEE
THOUGHTS OBSCURED BY DAYS GONE BY SLIPPED AWAY INTO THE NEW

MY COMPANION, MY PARTNER DRIFTED IN TO STAY FROM SOMEWHERE IN MY PAST
THRU THE TURMOILED DAYS OF STIFF OPPOSITION FROM DEMONIC PRESENCE A TRUE FRIEND
SNUGGLED CLOSE AS I TOOK A MOMENT TO GATHER LIGHT FROM MOON BEAMS CAST
RUBBING HER COAT AS IF SHE WER'NT REAL, THINKING HOW I'M GONNA FEEL AT THE END

AS IF SENSING MY THOUGHTS HER WHIMPER BROUGHT ME BACK TO THE NIGHT AND NOW
SMALL RIVERS OF TEARS GATHERING IN PUDDLES THREATNING TO DAMPEN MY PASSAGE
BENDING ON CREAKING KNEES AS A GESTURE OF PURE LOVE SOMEHOW
NO WORDS NEED SPOKEN AS SILENCE BEMOANS THE TRUTH OF THE MESSAGE

ONE NIGHT, SOME NIGHT, MAYBE THIS NIGHT THIS SHADOW STREAKED FORREST WITH ALL ITS GRACE
WILL FIND US SOFTLY STEPPING OVER PINE BARK TWIGS AND HONEYSUCKLE VINES
SEARCHING FOR HOME, TO LAY OUR WEARY HEADS, MABYE OUR FINAL RESTING PLACE
BUT UNTILL THEN WE WILL SEEK FOR PEACE, LAY DOWN THE BURDENS AND LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND

Probably not the proper place for this but hope you enjoyed reading. Thanks

Let them delete it. It doesn't matter. AT least a few got to enjoy and I did put it over there but didn.t go over to well either. Thanks for sharing.
