Realm (Somewhere Else)

Fearing the disorientation of landing in a thicket of unknown space

I've been passing away time in its quiet, almost unsettling phase

The air grows warmer in the falling of summer's day, in this place

The leaflet-like tattered cloth floating past burnt branches entwined

Walking upon enchanted pathways where strange sand is lined

The glow of a lantern emits from where I cannot tell, in this realm

 

I would probably feel lonely but enchantment overtakes that one part

And the other lies underfoot when the cries spring from the heart

Then I hang on for fear I'll lose the spell, and find I was somewhere else

 

TBC...
