Inching through a forest
Tried my best not to make a sound
I heard the birds crowing in the tree above me
I felt the worms crawling underneath my feet
I knew that I was dreaming
I know that I was dreaming
And waking up, it was not the solution
For the thing that haunts me here
Is amplified on the surface
What’s worse is, everyone can see
Fearful
I walked to and starred into the darkness of a cave
I was prepared to test anything
For the spark I’ve heard others tell me they’ve felt and found
One that rests beyond its threshold
But, the cave was bare or for a moment it seemed
I slightly moved forward and there was a pair of eyes, glowing, starring back me
I saw the mist of its breath
I heard growls
There was more than one
I fell down
The fallen leaves and twigs tear and break beneath me as I struggled to stand
I turned to run and those eyes bursted from the cave, chasing me
I ran
I ran,
I spilled over rocks and un-manicured grass
Tripped over my very own feet
My curiosity compelled me to look back
I discovered what it- they were
After an inkling of what it would be
I then turnedmy head with eyes looking forward
By a low hanging branch, I was knocked-out-cold.
Sure there is no way I’d survive
I laid there, alighted on the cleavage of consciousness
The one ambiguous creatures crept upon me…
I was
Eaten by wolves
Disgusted by wolves
Shat out by wolves
All alone…
