Ahead rose the wall of impenetrable woods
an imporosity shrouding all that lay within
nurturing a darkness that evolved from within,
Was there a soul ? was there anything ? or
Was there nothing at all ?
My path pierced through its vast expanse
A narrow streamlet into an oceanic unknown
Thoughts harbored in an open precinct
with a periphery of dark unassuming limbo
Either i starved in solitude or I moved..
ahead into the unwelcoming haven .
I should move ..No, hold on ..
The darkness intimidates ,the stagnance invites
though the open spaces promises nothing .
I decided this was the ultimate effort ..
Elves sliding into hidden burrows ,
Serpents slithering amongst the growth ,
Poison flushing from their fangs
Dementors scavenging alongside ogres .
Yes ,the vacuum ,the evanescent forms,
and the hallucinative aura
preyed out from within ,
shuddering droplets of sweat ‘n cold.
Firm steps of a decided mind
Diluted amongst a wavering solicitude
become slower and fainter ,as I reached
the terminus of peace and the domain of fear .
my heart stopped ,a moment’s stagnance in a frozen time .
And then the fire burst out ..
The desperate call of a fleeing prey
Embossed in my mortal being
The timberland enveloped my momentary sprint
And then there was light!!
A vast expanse ,a florid poetry, fluid and sublime,
vibrant and majestic -a promise of angelic abode
I stand amazed ,the past non-existent and oblivious .
A moment’s embarrassment and then a sense of enlightenment –
the dark density ,the sturdy wall ,the overpowering fear ,
Were they mere illusions of an infirm mind.

To err is human, but to not is worse. So let thought be the guide of the hand, and let not fear be thy inhibitor !
