BY EDWARD NICHOLAS WRIGHT JR.

Betwixt the Trees, a Path unearthed,

promising adventure to parts unknown.

Winding is the Course I trek;

unforeseen, the twists and turns.

Loneliness is amplified

amidst the Silent Forest.

With fear and trepidation,

slowly I creep forth.

Apprehension begins to fade

as Fate summons me forward.

Is this an escape from my Troubles,

a porthole to an idyllic World?

In haste, I race, forging ahead;

to the present I am blind.

Navigated by a singular Goal:

to realize my every Dream.

Sadly, in transit to Paradise,

I become Lost betwixt the Trees.
