the
forest
of my mind
contains terrors
lurking in shadow
to rip the life from me
with sharp fangs and shredding claws
eyes burning like fire mocking me
strangled cry as my throat is ripped open
still-beating heart torn from my broken breast
A welcoming forest bathed in sunlight
sounds of happy creatures fill the air
nature rules this magical realm
hopeful thoughts blow on the breeze
I forget my troubles
basking in the warmth
feeling blessed
on this day
in this
life

This poem might be fun as an Etheree.
