Rescue Me (Free verse) by TLRufener
Darkness has settled upon the land
There is no one here to hold my hand
I wander a child lost and alone
With no one to help me find my way home
The path before it hilly and dark
The path behind has left itâs un-erasable mark
I have nowhere to go and one to trust
I am fending for myself through the clouds of dust
What happened to my friend who knew the way
Why has she allowed me to go astray
Frightened tears stream down my face
There is no way I can find a safer place
Sadness mists over my sight
I cannot see my way without the light
The stars have abandoned me without reason
Everything is so dark I cannot tell the season
When I entered this wood spring flowers bloomed
But where the flowers were nothing looms
I have lost my way as everything looks the same
I no longer have the strength to play this game
I can only hope that I will wake from this dream
And someone will come along to rescue me
