LP2187

Wilderness under a hood

I lost my way

Following the path

Winding night and day

Away from dear hearth

 

Whistling strong

The wind held my breath

I stopped to throng

And catch my breath

 

A landscape of trees

Grass flooding the fields

Like warriors crafting seas

Of axes, swords and shields

 

The sun throbbed bright

Hanging over the horizon

A tasteful, golden light

Rays of such powerful vision

 

Like a wonderful mutiny

Long shadows being cast

A scene of horrifying beauty

Night approached fast

 

Desolate darkness so strange

The face of wilderness under a hood

The terrain began to change

But it wasn’t for the good

 

Fog drifted across the sky

Like hell-bound clouds above

The glades cracked dry

A war of evil against love

 

Birch wood shrivelled grey

As nature became a prey

Leaves withered to brown

Rain crashed and spewed down

Freezing into sleet and frost

All of the meadows were found to be lost
