sinews of the dying tree
staring into the nocturnal
moonrise at it’s feet agree
dying leaves in my journal
haunted eyes staring out
form the shrouded night
mouth poised to give a shout
devastating fear ignites
repugnance in my vapid orbs
fire burning in the murk
lost in foreign proverbs
my mind is now berserk
into this forest do not tread
the fear will overtake
and lead you down the path of dread
from which you never will awake
