stone path bathed in light flanked by green shrubbery of the forest

Into the Forest

poem-like / By Tara

April 6, 2022

 

For the longest time, I couldn’t find her.

I called and searched and queried.

“Have you seen my Spark?” I said,

“My Joy?”

 

Deaf ears.

 

It was as if she’d never existed.

(Was it that she’d never existed?)

“I can’t find my Meaning,” I cried,

“My Reason for Being!”

 

Blank stares.

 

No one could tell me where to turn

To find this thing I yearned for,

The one I had a right to own.

“Where did you go?” I called.

 

Echoes.

 

And so I stopped and waited.

(What else could I do?)

Until the Forest grew around me

And no more light broke through the trees.

 

Until the paths were overgrown

And all direction disappeared.

Until the darkness swallowed me

And all I saw was nothing.
