The Dark Forest

The Dark Forest out near the dew on the ground frozen cud deep darkened worms with maggot infested insides the forest was hidden from the actual view from the stream one step we took until we reached the entrance to this vast domain green cloven briars on the sidelines permeates the brevity inside rocks of scructured hallow cloven parchment one step at a time we would climb in its dwelling perhaps this is the place where Indians tread dark ellusive columns of grand vestibules to discover was it any wonder the sun radiated on its sphere at last a wooden sctructure could it be a sign the place where little fairy's & hobbits used to frequent as I came closer to the dwelling there was an opening but only scratched the surface of what lieth beneath smoke had started to come forth from below perhaps this was a doorway to Hell there it was a lively dragon with scorching flames through its habitation a dark figure approached me I wanted to run but the voice insisted that I stay & pray so I neglected to turn around and leave with emmemse sadness there was new gladness for the figure was an angel sent down from heaven I glanced at the dragon who was now snearing in my direction in a flash it was all gone & left me inside with a song within my heart there beats a hidden melody living in the forest of the land of make believe
