Invisioned Life
Stepping through the door I embrace the beams of sun pertruding through the clouds, Each soft step leaves prints of myself in the moist dirt beneath me, Smooth wisps of tender breezes grace me with it's presence as it wraps through my hair and around my skin, As I walk further into my world a lone tree sits atop this hill before me, Dazed by its beauty I linger where I stand for a moment watching it as it dances with the wind as if they were one, A delicate butterfly flutters by catching my eye..I play with it as it lures me in, Closer and closer I seem to get, this tree that gives me the feeling that something is amiss, Nearer I become, My body pulling me as my mind try's to resist the temptations of this secret beauty, Here I am now..under its shade watching each leaf drop and fade, What am I missing..what lay here..there's something confusing, misleading, and insincere, Yet now that I'm here it's hard to leave like I'm locked in a world of illusion and fear, I'm scared to step away for all will shatter..but if I stay I'll break and tatter, This life I lead is broken and sullied..I'm glad this is a dream and I'll wake in the morning..Unless this is real and I must bare it, pretending all will just get better,Looking back it seemed so easy..but now I just can't step away from my present and future, My past will remain behind me forever in eternity, No more despair or sorrow..only happiness filled with love and joy, Even if it kills me I'll make it through to the very end.
