In the Forest of my Mind

I find a place to sit
Atop a hill where I can find
A sky rosily lit.

Soon it will be dark in here;
I simply have to wait.
It isn’t darkness that I fear,
But other people’s hate.

Silhouettes against the sky,
The trees reach down to me;
I wrap myself in coming night
Until I can’t be seen.

Gazing at my perfect landscape,
I see what I love best:
Only here can I escape
Only here find rest

I lurk within this darkened land
That is my own creation;
No one can find me, as I planned
Deep in my Mind Evasion.
