The Dark Forest Poem by Monica Engeler

The light around disappeared before my eyes.
A dark forest awaited the path I wondered forth.
Eary sounds whistled the entrance shadows.
Does the road have any other mysterious ties?

Forward was the only answer I think, should I?
I see the pathway with many dangerous creatures.
Foxes, bears, lions, and maybe tigers entrap me.
The adventure tells a story, I will not let it go by.

Like magic, I hear a song calling the kindling track.
It is raining, It is pouring onward I am going.
No end to go, but ahead and all what is unknown.
The further I go into the woods all I see is black.

Imagine me lost in this desolate site I travel.
The wind may change, but it will not take me away.
Then a shine in the distance showed me the way to go.
It was like a firefly flickering intensely along the gravel.

Hence a people hidden from the life I knew entered about.
Magical fairy like to the believer who wants to understand
A rainbow sparkled a means of riches unknown to you.
I don’t value why these beings are soaring here and out.

It is too late, they have taken over the land I journey.
Let me see what happens when one wakes in a fantasy,
The balance of nature changes the course of existence.
A web trapped outsiders from ever leaving the valley.

This gate was like a powerful force scheming pain.
Those glittering lights tainted into angry beasts.
The fairy like ventured leaving hatred all around.
Please leave this place and make it once more sain.

The dark wood I entered has altered into a fright.
I leaving the surroundings was the only answer.
A sign pointing south lead me back to sunshine.
Behind me the lightening flies vanished from sight.

Purity returned to woodlands, plagued by mystery.
Spirits no longer howled and merry shines all over.
The drifter has left the terra leaving everything alone.
For I was the one who deserted the great land in a furry.
