A walk in the dark.

I had this great longing
A sure unquenchable thirst
To take an unguided walk!

I kept envisioning this walk
It's wild twists and turns
And it's fulfiling ways.

My imagination ran a bit wild
Thrills from beyond haunting me
I knew one thing;a walking I must!

So I gathered a few supplies
Out into the warm sun I skipped
With not a bother in the world

Up the green hills I walked
Round the river bend I went
So excited was I to finally walk

Along the way I met all sorts
Some lovers, haters, kings,queens,
Angels, demons, hobbos, wealthy...

So wrapped up in this paths' adventure
That I lost track of this earthly time!
There stood sun,he kissed me good bye and ran...

In that mountain valley I stood,
Trying to find some leaves for shelter
Knowing all too well, the chill was coming

The moon blessed my night with her marveling glow
As the chill wrapped his icy hands around me
I somehow knew I'd make it through the night.

Wrapped up in jungle leaves and the icy chill
I felt my self slip into a mighty strange slumber
Where I was asleep and awake at the same exact time!

In my slumber, I walked around in some filthy ruins
As if searching for something precious in the rubble!
Only a mad man would do this; I thought to myselves...

As I sought feverishly for this 'mad mans' treasure
I stumbled upon a well in the middle of the ruins
A great thirst overwhelmed me, I had to take a sip.

Upon the well I stood. Drawing a bucket from the below
It's waters were cold and black yet for no reason I sipped away
Suddenly the bucket pulled me quickly into the darkness below!

Splash into the black icy water I fell, what a dark endless place
Deeper and deeper I sunk, its waters weighing above me like rocks
So I stopped fighting and drowning; it was such a serene moment.

When I roused from my deep slumber I was bewildered by this paradise
Everything was beautiful, delicious, seemingly happy and uncloaked!
It appeared to me that angels had descended while I was night walking.
