[bodytext] => A muddy trail of many feet cuts into the canopy the silence it intimidates as I enter breathlessly gold and green did set the scene but grim and grey cover the way I stare alone, as time stands still This place will not bend to my will another world remains outside, burning sweating, losing pride a leaf drops, spinning, gathering not welcome here, I am a sin no echoes just a thumping shun knowingly watched by other ones twigs crack sharply under feet now my entrance is complete. foliage finger at my face my hands sweep just to check the space fear of spiders and small things that bite or scratch or offer stings becomes so real whilst I am here tiny nuisances cause fear pungent smells of vegetation not known by the concrete nation neither pleasant nor obscene but real enough to banish dream I carry on, a lumbering fool reminded of my times at school when we would all create a den a pleasure lost since I was ten bottles dug up from the ground tales of treasure to be found torture metered on the boy who did not grow out of his toys. The path goes on up a great bank a smooth root rippled broken staircase I take a step back for the run up wary of slips, hands out just in case intermittent steps of purchase suddenly, I'm at the top! freshness,clear light warms at my face canal bank, I have to stop on the other side the tow path home of dog walkers and the poles of fishermen who sit for hours staring at their orange rolls of tape around their floating lures this is leisure for these types one looks annoyed at my invasion of his trap set for a bite I nod somewhat apologetic wipe my hands clean down my side I look around like a small child wondering if it seems all right? is it okay to walk this way? when you are old enough to know that ghosts and treasure life and leisure ended a long time ago.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
