The Dark Forest
April 25, 2019
As I walked through the quiet forest of loneliness,
The branches, leafless
Hung low to the cold hard ground,
Drenched in shame
Stepping further into the cloudy and dark forest.
I look up at the glassy blue sky of hope and happiness
Scratching through the seams of hateful branches
Walking up hills, and down mountains,
Through trees and around bushes
I came up on a steadily paced waterfall,
Dumping into the Great Arctic Ocean
The soft sound of rumbling seagulls
The feeling of waves crashing onto rocks
Water splashed onto your face
