A Summer Dream

It starts with a walk

Then a pause in a dark wood

A glance to the trees

Sadly stuck to the ground

Wishing to be on top

Wishing to see the bright blue sky

To see the light of day

Dark gloom becomes denser

A panic sets in

Only to be soothed by the chirps of crickets

Listening closer, the trickle of a creek

A searching eye finds what it's looking for

An attentive ear hears what it's looking for

The flickering movement 

And the crackle of a bonfire

It was a nightmare, 

But now only a summer dream
