Forest Depths

(Picture Credit - Miriadna com)

I peer into the depths of forest:

A seeming infinity of trees

And undergrowth.

Gnarled branches adorned

By countless butterfly wings.

A sea of green

Above those black-hole shadows.

Who knows what lies beyond those lines?

What friends or foes might well be met

In there.

Monsters may lurk,

Or fairies frolic around mushroom rings.

Yes, an infinity of sheer delight

Or hell.

Maybe I’ll find you a cottage in those woods,

With a garden path to lead you down for more.

I stare

And wonder.

Then I put away my mobile

(And the mayhem is gone again).

LOL.
