Sleeves of moss cover the tree branches
The view looks warped
If you gaze down the forest
Things twisting
Turning
Like a whirl-pool of colors
Shifting every few feet
New details to analyze
Every second of every day
As time warps
And feels like it swirls around me
Passing around me
I can feel the weight of tyranny
Falling behind me
As I move through the trees.

Favorite Quote:
"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."
