Inbetween
The love-lorn leaf-littered forest-floor
Of auburn-Autumn
And the glass-bottle-green-moss-maze of wizzened trees,
I walk, together, yet unseen...
Contents of a sensible head displaced by dreams...
A mortal-mystic conjures a scene...
Surreal serpents stretch, uncoil...
From ivy-clad Gandalf staffs
Ghost-grey mists, entangle, goad me...
Fears, in the form of fairies, take flight,
As stags descend my steep surrounds;
The Lady holds me in her flowing embrace,
Finds my whisper, strokes my face.
Combes caress my aching heart
Inbetween is where I start.
