I know I’m lost as I walk around…patiently and slow.

In this world, familiar but new,
I have no idea where I’ve been or where to go.

I’ve walked for miles without a clue.

I’m lying beneath a set of blackened trees,
staring up at the cloudless crimson sky.

Listen to the gentle rustle of the leaves,
hollow and haunting; a chilling sigh.

The moon shines dully above my resting place,
yet the darkness reflects no light.

Shadows whisper gently against my face,
as I stand and reach out into the night.

This is my world, and I am its Queen.

Perfectly peaceful within this withering dream.
I dreamt this, and it was a beautiful place. I wish it existed in reality.

This is my entry for Theme #39, "Dream".
