the wood
March 10, 2018
the sun once shone
the trees once stood
there once was light
inside the wood
and through the acres
night and day
the boy went out
to leave the gray
the waterbanks
were fresh and clear
he swam the river
void of fear
he loved his home
inside the wood
where sun once shone
and trees once stood
and then one day
he lost his track
for light had left
had not come back
and though the night
had come so soon
the boy looked up
to see no moon
no stars or fog
just darkened sky
in which no other
light would lie
in all the years
to pass the wood
where sun once shone
and trees once stood
