The Lost Dream. [Poem]

As I walked through the forest,

I heard the whispers of the trees.

It was a secret, unknown to me.

I looked at my reflection in the pond,

and saw myself fading away

along with the wind.

The birds above me stopped chirping sweetly,

and the stream besides me stopped flowing gently

It was then that I saw it.

A light; glowing very far away.

I knew I should have just turned away-

but I didn't.

I knew it was a part of me.

Something dear to me.

What kept me safe here.

Through the branches of the trees,

I could see the glowing light going farther and farther away from me.

Unknowingly, my feet began to run towards it.

And I closed my eyes and jumped to grasp it.

At that moment; I knew I should not have allowed myself to come here.

My body felt lighter and lighter.

And darkness was all around me.

The last spot of light disappeared.

I closed my eyes; probably never to open them again.

I don't know if it was after an eternity

Or just a moment later

that I felt warmth around me.

I opened my eyes and saw the glowing light above me.

I tried to grasp it again, but it disappeared.

I gazed at the emptiness above me.

And I smiled and whispered to myself,

'Of course. I am just a dream, right? A lost dream.'

I wrote this last year. I think this was the fourth poem I wrote.

I think this came from some dream of mine; gaah; I don't remember. -_-

Anyways; I hope you like it. [since i was a kid back then who did not know anything about writing. (not that i know much now. xD)]

Oh btw; I don't own the picture. :/
