Where nothing can hurt me
The sun's rays shine down
Through all the leaves of the tall trees
And animals graze quietly
It is peaceful
Sometimes the forest is dark
With fireflies scattering in the grass
The moon glowing above
I can make out all the constellations
It is peaceful
Sometimes the forest is rainy
There are no animals then
Because everyone has gone to bed
The forest is still
It is peaceful
Sometimes the forest is foggy
I can't quite see what's there
The uncertainty puts me on edge
This is the only time to forest isn't peaceful
I don't know what's there
This is the forest I traverse through daily
The foggy uncertainty of the trees
The shadow of a passing animal
The snap of a twig
I feel as if the words in my throat
Have become clogged and jumbled
My chest is heavy with things I want, I need to say
But I don't know who I'm talking to
A ghost?
A shadow?
A friend?
A foe?
I'm not sure where the fog is taking me
But I hope it's back to where the sun shines
The moon glows
And the rain falls gently down
Where it's peaceful...
I imagine I'm in a forest.

PuisiThese are poetic works of mine that I wanted to put out into the world. They mean something to me. Maybe they'll mean something to you. Most of these are written off impulsive. So they have anything I felt in the moment I wrote them.
