In the Forest

In The Forest In the forest as I kept on walking thought, I'd heard a thundering sound A certain cackling and cackling impish sound which filled me with dread And found that even though as I initially had turned three quarters around My clouded vision which I thought I'd seen came right from inside my head. In an instant a faint invasion of a foreign language tongue was beckoning So like a silent slithering slimy creature forcing and aimlessly calling, Then I felt an unknown feeling come unto me for then I was falling; And then my intelligent mind was asking; is this the final day of reckoning? Unto another day and page for then I felt my body floating amongst the trees The dazzling, dizzy heights that had suddenly appeared from so high above, I could see from a firm and standing view, could see myself sitting on my knees Because then heard a pleading awful sound come out of my throat, was asking God for love. All alone on this old dirt of a road near a clearing in the forest I glance Now my life has taken a different path to which was distorted image to dispense, Soon I'll be begging you to give me a second chance, a second chance So that we can both succumb to trying to make some recompense. There have been so many mere mortals, standing all alone carrying many unknown of word And therefore, forever then I felt like I was so very down and had drowned; But nary on all echoing sounds was initially then heard Now where have all the forest trees had fallen without naking a sound. 06/05/2015

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
