Within Walls

Tangled treachery, many endless turns
Lost within walls of darkest evergreen,
Dead end again, wrong way this time - same ferns!
Walls too high, can't climb, end always unseen
Losing pace, gasping breath - energy burns
Footprints that fit, in moon's silvery sheen
Too dark, no escape from overgrown place
Morning comes slowly, light hits the same face

Lorna, it looks like you are new here. You wrote very well here. It reminds me of some dreams I have had when I feel overwhelmed! Welcome to Soup.
