Lost In Time Part One

I entered the forest unsure of how i got there one step within, I found it useless to try to escape- to find my way out I had little memory only leaves, tree trunks, the earth perpetually shaded from the light of God there were voices animal noises- I could not determine from which direction they came the buzz of insects a mildly threatening cacophany underfoot were leaves, small branches, other indecypherable forms of small death I was alone I was lost and I knew not how I'd gotten here Didn't I once walk the bright streets of a mighty city? Hadn't I once traveled on paved roads, companioned by other travelers? was there once a destination for me? how had I become lost in this dark, dank, forest of fear? oceans, beaches, tall buildings, blue skies, friendly smiles- were these demented dreams? which is real? which is sanity? why can't I distinguish them any more?
