A walk through the woods not able to see through the leaves

Trying to see the sun and the light

Stuck int he shadows and darkness

Just enough light to play tricks on your eyes

Seeing things that are wondering around in the mist of fiction and storybooks

Reality catching up with you when you turn the corner

Enclosed in darkness once again just when you thought you had reached the clearing

Not even light to see your foot path

Just the specs in tree tops

Nothing reaching the bottom of the woods

Nothing reaching the path you so desperately want to see

Looking but not seeing where you are headed

Hoping you will recognize something soon.
