Journey of a Boy
The young child stares into the blue sky above him,
his mind creates creatures in the clouds.
Warm images of lively creatures in the world above,
as his life goes on the images begin to shroud.
The child continues on the journey everyone must face,
he stops to look at a bright green leaf on an oak tree.
As he marvels at the strength of the leaf holding on,
it drops off the oak and falls down free.
The child spots a lone deer in the distance,
enjoying the lush grass before it.
A wolf leaps from the bushes near the creature,
in minutes the lush green grass turns a dark red.
As the child proceeds, the road begins to fog,
the child hears laughter in the distance.
pausing for a moment to finally hear the voice of another.
The laughing turns to screams then disapears from existance.
Watching all the events around him,
the child regrets the choice that he has made.
he is the one that decided to go through this journey alone,
he has no one to save him, no one to give him aid.
The child stares into the sky above him,
his mind shows the falling leaf and the wolf beginning to attack.
Hoping for an escape from this vision,
all he is able to see is black.
