Somewhere Amongst The Trees

Somewhere amongst the trees

ivy that creeps

the pathway got twisted

it broke free

my mind, the only place it existed

I ended up in a field of green

a sea of grasses and flowers

colours burned a unique scene

onto my eyes

one I'd watch for hours

 

Through weeds and tangled bushes

my head rushes

I was lost, disorientated

impregnated my mind

with visions that nauseated

flooded by stillborn thoughts

my compass pointing north

I was heading south

where sweeping thoughts rushed

my mind was turning west

whilst my heart floundered east

I was torn in so many directions

As above the vultures circled ready to feast

I felt the pull, hands around my legs

dragging me down

 

Several miles from hope

on a downward slope

A one-way escalator

with only a battered ladder for escape

I felt the sting

scraping cold on my skin

goose bumps

prickling

I fell for a story told

fantasy sold

on fields of fool’s gold

 

I let my heart lead my head,

believed words I read

let them give me back my smile

but all the while

the words were creeping in the dark

lurking

with a bite worse than their bark

 

I fell for lies

because the story was nice

the scenery and imagery

filled me with hope

but then I took the pathway

and it twisted

hope swapped to misted fear

I misled my mind

somewhere around here

 

Thanks For Reading,

Peace & Love.
