This Never Happened.

Walking along the twisting path, stumbling

My eyes are unable to advise

Because the ground has become comprised

of darting, multicolored beams of light.



Looking for guidance from the full moon

The light to aid my sight

Is refracted by the night

And hopelessly distorted.



Even the treetops have gone

Visibility has changed and rearranged

My friends, the trees, are now estranged

A sparkling web above me obstructs my vision.



Reaching up to pull it down

My hand grasps air, nothing there

I see it, I swear!

Unable to trust my senses.



The steady beat once soothed my mind

Now it hits my ears, echoing my fears

How the hell did I end up here?

It was something I did long ago.



Sitting on the ground, head in hands

Overcome with fright, eyes shut tight

But it doesn't succeed in extinguishing sight

I cannot escape the visions.



I'll never get back to where I once was

It's much too late, I sit and wait

I've never been one to believe in fate

I guess we'll see what happens.
