A Path Un Traveled ( Part 1 )

In the darkness of a New Moon, I follow a forgotten path of my Mind
I can’t seem to remember~ when last I trekked  this trail - What will I find?
   Look there, a Lotus in full Bloom ; Surrounded  by total “ ISOLATION “
The sky is dark : above HER ; “ DEATH “ has swallowed my  “ INSPIRATION “

Do YOU see, on the “ RIGHT HAND “  side of that Knoll ; a giant Spruce Door?
The key is in the lock “ Should I open it? “  I  D O , a valley of “Sorrow” Lies on the Floor
A Wicked ; Ashen colored SKY: grips the universe :  and Rips my : “ HEART “  in two
I was not a Christian, when I lost my “ L E N O R E “ I had no idea, What should  I   DO?
