Tangled Dream
The forest was lush green and dripping of moss and rain,
Glittering flowing streams meandered past dark foliage and trees;
And wild flowers dropped their petals into the water,
Where they drifted down waterfalls into sapphire blue lakes.
I listened deeply to the rippling water kissing the wet rocks,
And the forest was loudly chirping and breathing and beckoning me;
Then I heard my name being called from a faraway place,
It undulated in the tangled branches and whispered on the wind.
The voice called my name over and over and I ran towards it,
My sobbing a loud moaning wail lost in the vast forest and streams;
Then,it was dark night, the blue sky had withered away,
The stars trembled as I ran through the maze . . .
Then, I awoke . . . weeping.
