black silhouettes against a barely lighter sky

they came in slowly

when they entered the wood

like a fog

almost invisible

the mushrooms glowed

illuminating their frightened faces

three young men

in search of a hope

that grew inside them

faeries giggled above them

but flew off at their sight

leaving only a slight bell sound above

they stepped on moonstones to cross frothing blue rivers

and the goblin hid by the talking stump

the creatures watched these three young men

in search of their own hope in the magic woodland

when here was not where they reside

this hope of men would not be found within the forest

but within their very hearts
