The Eternal Forest

 

Night finally falls, upon the forest trail

Beyond a campsite, in a sheltered dale

But whoever was there, has now departed

To wander paths, that were never charted

Wind whispers and dappled moonlight falls

Rustling leaves, top endless trees, like walls

It's such a beautiful place, to be led astray

But if you can't leave, you will have to stay

In misadventures, the nightmares scheme 

In cloistered darkness, the unbridled scream

So fear the woodland folk, or unseen sprite

For in the eternal forest, night follows night

There's a familiar stream, amidst the myrtle 

For the path now trodden, is a perfect circle

And it's a blissful place, to choose to roam

Unchanging forever, where forever's alone

Night follows night, upon the forest trail 

Leading to a campsite, in a sheltered dale

But there's no need to linger, just circumvent 

With a path to follow, past an abandoned tent
