My Forest of True Dreams

dedicated to my BFF-Mira Hopesbane


Silently, swiftly, I run through the forest, here.

My feet baely touching the leafy ground.

My once upon a time home is now near.

My strength and hope is now found!

I run quickly, almost flying

With silver metallic wings that Pixies fly.

Running, and possibly, flying, but no denying,

That there, for me, someone will die.

I jump over a hidden branch, nearby;

My body gracefully flies in the air.

As I do, I breathe in deep and sigh,

For I am running away, maiden fair.

My eyes sparkle at the sight before me,

A secret to keep and never speak of.

A small, very small hidden grove of trees.

Instantly, with a true heart, in it I fall in love.

As I run, so much like I fly hter,

I sense, like an antennae automatically would,

That a monster is chasing me, a moster worse than a bear!

I would turn and fight, only if I could.

But I skid into the hidden brush.

While I do, I wish to see, to know who it is.

I scoot over and peek, but give myself a hush.

But as I spy, I see it is only a wolf-miss.

She speaks to me in a strange way,

Yet I seem to understand her words to me:

No one will die or come to harm today.

And happily, but relieved, I thank she.

I start off again, running through the forest, here.

My feet now, not touching the ground,

For a loved one is waiting for me near.

My renewed strength and happiness is found!

Now I truly fly through the trees.

I look back and find real Pixie wings!

I am estatic as I surf a breeze.

I fly swiftly and gaily with flips and flings.

I found my true self today,

And I am home at last long.

And like this, I hope to ever stay;

For it is here, like I am, I belong.


I wrote this as a poem describing my character in a book of mine, but it came out with a deeper more realistic meaning. I found this suprising! This poem describes in times of hardness, or if someone did something they regret, they may run away. They feel as if something is chasing them. Soon they realize that everything is okay and they are still loved. They come back, and make things better, better then they were before!
