The Storybook Forest...
a peculiar little bridge made
of seven water stepping stones
led me to a storybook forest
that would remind anyone of home
where the moss made a green carpet
that was impossible to not follow
and there was a different shade of sunlight
that was looking through this hollow
I felt as if I was caught in an old photograph
that was finally found on a forgotten shelf
and I was standing next to a dead knotted tree
that looked as if it was still growing away from itself
I then awoke from my dream and go on
never knowing if this place was real or fake
or if I only get to revisit it in the mystifying visions
that taunt me before I wake
