Springtime forever
Warm land of flowers
Existing just a step beyond;
Summer of all time,
Greens and browns sublime
Existing just a step beyond;
Autumn continues
Painted many hues
Existing just a step beyond;
Winter Eternal
Cold and evil
Existing just a step beyond;

A shimmering stonework touches the sky,
With shifting of colors dazzles the eyes,
Standing within yet touching no season,
A magical place protected by spells,
An ancient place where an old scholar dwells
Balancing both fantasy and reason.

To our world it is stone and nothing more,
Others see on each side a magic door
Leads to fractures of an eternal year,
One’s the dark coldness of woeful winter,
Another to the bounty of summer,
Segments of mankind’s happiness and fear

It was always time for reading tomes,
In his mind each one was another home,
They were reality unto themselves,
Lining the tall walls and filling the shelves.

Let me Repost it here for you,

Lost Lady in the Woods, Part 1

He has candle to light,
It’s a mini-beacon in the dark,
He’ll use it mostly at night,
Illumination with just a spark,
And it allows him to see
But being seen by others too;
When he allows light to be
Visions in darkness will be few.

It was nightly seen brightly,
As see looked out her back window,
It was seeming as dreaming,
A floating flame in shadow.

Slightly worried she hurried,
Toward the wood in the field,
Where it had been where she seen,
Looks it’s source to be revealed.

When at the brook stopped to look,
The light has vanished away,
With a sad turn she returned
She’d investigate in day.

When morning came there was rain,
And chores to keep her busy,
Inside she’d stay all the day,
No time to go look and see.

Watching tree line, oak and pine,
Birch and popular, the woods deep,
Shadows with night but no light,
The rain on roof drumming sleep.

With dawn’s coming out going
And to garden works with hand,
Always needing a weeding,
Growing and living the land.

Night came at last shadows cast
Across and over the land,
Then she did see by a tree
A light carried by a man.

Who could he be rush to see,
Light was moving into wood,
Into shadow she’d follow,
Not thinking of if she should.

The candle flickering as he'd go
Down this forest pathway narrow
Till reaching a small dark meadow,
Hidden within the trees shadow,
Returning darkness with a blow.

Directions lack all turn black,
Now there’s gone the leading light,
Knows not the lands where she stands,
Lost in the wood during night.

Ripping her clothes as she goes,
Torn by brambles that wont part,
All she can do is push through,
Falling down with pounding heart.

Daylight breaking she’s waking
Lost in sleep beside a brook,
Her dress now in white satin,
Flowers in bloom where she looks.

Then she wanders and wonders
At all the beauty she sees,
Where she’s going not knowing
She’s slipped from reality.

Following a beacon of candlelight
She wandered off into darkest night,
Nowhere was she found she was lost from sight,
Now a mystic and fantasy delight.

In the future I'll try to remember to link
