Passing old oak trees, that appeared crazed and alive,

they waved about in the wind, like excited spirits,

the yellow cab I sat inside; dirty and stale,

looking to be covered in fleas,

the darkened sky brightened slightly, as I now grew closer.

Now, missing the bright lights of my big city,

 I had now entered the world of country folk and farmed fields,

the local's paraded and danced around; high on ale's and the fresh country air,

scents of manure and green, green grass cut the atmosphere,

so I then took my first step onto unknown ground, and a new start.

Walking on my new territory and domain,

gazing at my new home,

the clean air; strong and intense, feathered my face softly as it passed,

as I walked closer to the unfamiliar door,

and I tapped with one hand to be heard.

No-one answered, no-one to be seen,

I called out once, then twice,

but yet, it remained quiet and serene,

amused by a sudden opening of the vast, scary door,

expecting to see that familiar, loving face once again,

I saw nothing, just a blank, dusty hallway and a barren floor.

Not a soul lived here anymore,

I undeniably felt alone and lost,

where would I go now from here?

starting again would not be easy,

perhaps my only decision is to stay put, and make my life in this mysterious land.
