Spun in golden, silken threads, with wings upon her back
She beckons to the one who’s lost, to keep him on her track
Seductive eyes and lips of red, he falls for her completely
As she lures him to her trap, ever so discretely
Into the forest, and fairy light, he follows her hypnotic gaze
Unaware of what’s ahead, his mind, confused, a clouded haze
She turns again, just to be sure, he hasn’t lost his way
Once again she coyly smiles, as he gets swept away
In golden splendor, through the trees, no innocence remains
For she has taken all he has, his spoils are now her gains

Wandering on
Through valleys wide
And forests oh so deep
Through wild flower lanes
This Earth can’t contain
And mountains oh so steep
Wandering again
Carefree and light
Like a child in a nursery rhyme
Away from the city
That shows you no pity
From sweltering heat and grime
Wandering still
My visions set free
There are no worries to blind me
I’ll take to the clouds
Thundering loud
And never look back behind me
Wandering ever
Til my heart is fulfilled
Breathing in nature’s pure scent
It is here I surrender
To take in the splendor
To live out my dreams quite content

The light stayed away
Hidden behind the grayest of gray
With darkness clouding the sky
All I can do is wonder why
This fear I cannot allay
Sleepily walking to nowhere
Wondering what I will find there
My mind in a daze
Lost in a maze
Glancing at shadows that tear
As they dance in dark, mysterious ways
Losing the hours, day after day
How do they find me
Slinking behind me
With their eerily haunting display
They gather around as they play
I’m filled with uncertain dismay
Staking their claim
They whisper my name
Dragging me back, into the gray
