Nestled in the dark
Hidden by emerald leaves
A wood creature stands
Guarding his territory
From those who dare destroy it

Deep in the forest, among the trees
The wings of a dragon, soar with the breeze
A hint of mint from the gardens below
Cascades through the forest’s verdant show
Its fragrance, sweet as autumn air
Making this dragon seem more aware
Of the beings, who have entered here
And make their way too dangerously near
Far beyond the ridge, there’s a hidden lair
Where you’ll find, he’ll trap you then declare
There’s no escape from your own abduction
And soon, you’ll learn, the dragon’s destruction
For no human has ever left these woods
They’ve disappeared, vanished, gone for good

Between the forest, lush and green
There’s a road that takes you where
The woodlands, covered in the mist
Wait peacefully, but beware
Beyond the heavy fog, there lies
A mystery, not for the meek
You can feel the energy around you
Feel the rush of its mystique
As tales once told, the hidden spirits
Do still linger here these days
Dare you walk this way alone
They just may come out and play
For blended in the whitest fog
An ethereal presence is strong
Tis when you will finally realize
They’ve been waiting for you, all along

In a darkened place, beside a tree
A rusted, old, antiquated jalopy
Sat with no driver, appeared empty
Not really sure how this could be
The headlights were on, beaming
Light through the fog, streaming
In the distance, someone screaming
Please wake me up, I must be dreaming!
This nightmare has gone too far
I can’t get away, from this wicked car
I’m not even sure where we are!
This whole thing is quite bizarre
Wait. What do I mean saying we?
All this time, I thought, it’s only me
I’m not really sure what it is I see
But this forest has become too creepy
Half asleep, I try to make my way back
Through the foggiest mist, in the black
Of night, where the spirits always attack
And I find myself, way off track
Fumbling around, looking for light
Not another soul, within my sight
Thank goodness, that would be a fright
If someone else, came out, in the night
Running blindly, through the wood
Flashbacks of evil, a lost childhood
I’d awaken myself, if I could
Nightmares keep you, scared, for good
