Dark Woods

They come upon us once again I see traces of me left behind The dark woods are coming I see traces of where he took me How blessed I am not feeling any pain Will you ever stop looking for me Am I lost to you forever and if so Did you think this would happen I'm near death I can feel it now As he carries my body further The closer I'm coming to death I know I will never see my mother Will she ever pass this way again My stuffed animals come into view How obsolete all those things are One day I'm sure they will find me A dog most likely will find a bone Or someone riding on horseback But for now I'll remain cold and alone In my shallow grave of river rocks !!!! 11/ 8/ 2010 5am

I am wondering what you were feeling when you wrote this. Your mind covered a lot of ground in this one. The images express some sadness to me. Life is such a mixed bag. For every joy, there is also a sadness in the passing of something we can never regain.

oh MY, this was a very good one of yours to find way back here. I really enjoyed it. It is a bit like the theme i did for dark woods too!! It reminds me of that movie of the girl that is killed in a guy's underground secret place. (forgot the name of that movie now , dang it)

I do love this so much Debbie, and not only cause of the dark deep shadows following you, through the coldness of being alone. I love the poem, because of the eerie feeling of being pulled away from life, and into the depth of feeling nothing. always~ Linda

Dark and scary the way I like them, the voice of a ghost wondering if the body will be found, loved it thanks for recommending
