Down the forest path
When I began this journey
The light filtered through the leaves
Above
The birds sang and fluttered from
Tree to tree
But as I progress along this
Treacherous path
The roots grow in my path
Rocks block certain forks
The trunks get thicker
The leaves get darker
Glinting eyes from the bushes
Green, like a sweet spring song
Blue, like a warm summer breeze
Then brown
Like the dirt beneath me
Holding me up and dragging me in
Two in one
My best friend is my own worst enemy
My first love is my greatest dilemma
As I progress deeper into the forest
This journey that I am on
Will the forest go on forever?
When will it end?
What will I face?
I cling to hope that there will be light
at the end of this tunnel-like path
Like I cling to the spring song I sing on my way
And the summer breeze I hope to feel again soon
I dodge roots and rocks
Though it is little, only a glimmer
The light still shines through the leaves from
Above
