The Forrest
vast forrests of dark,
reigning the helpless miles in which a poor
old man crys while he roams.
The forrest of a mother, natures creation,
yet grasping fr her lost child who falls to
the insolent cold.
The forrest of an entrapped soldier,
writing to the fog above preaching hells
antonym in hope that his only friend, the
wind, might see his letter home.
Forrests of a foolish teen who was tricked
by that shiny mirror platter.
The forrest of a boy who's only wish is to
know he loves god, my dream.
