Lost

By L.E. (Anon)

Walk along the forest edge


From the outside it seems so peaceful


Autumn has turned the leaves into a patchwork quilt of reds and browns and

You can see shimmering pools of dappled sunlight

Collecting on the forest floor find a path leading in and

Venture through the gnarled tree trunks


But quickly realise that the forest is much denser than it

First appeared the tree canopy closes above you

Leaving you in darkness


The path beneath your feet has been swallowed up

By a carpet of dead leaves and moss


And


You are already lost.
