30 The eternal forest

19 2 2
                                    

It is silent as I walk through the woods,

The old dark trees standing sadly in their places,

Not able to move,

There are no sounds,

The silence is complete and I am all alone,

Only me and the trees,

And I wander,

Get lost in the unfamiliar woods,

A place o so old,

Yet so unknown,

Cause no one knows,

How to reach the eternal forest,

You hear about it in old song,

Read about it in books with almost forgotten lore,

But I can barely recall any of them,

For the forest takes over my head,

Controls my moods,

My thoughts and fears,

And I notice that we slowly become one,

The eternal forest and I,

I am becoming one with the woods,

Don't feel different from the tree next to me,

I stop walking,

Just stand still and breath in the cool air,

I lose my mind,

My grip on reality,

I don't remember the time before here,

The forest is slowly taking over my mind,

And I notice I haven't moved yet,

Not for over a few days,

But I lost all my desire to,

I just want stay here in my place,

And become one with the trees.

Part of the eternal forest.
