Through the Brambles

By saltyman65

                                               Through the Brambles:

                            The excitement and exhilaration of things to come
                       are obscured only by the over growth before me.
  
                             Hidden roots and twisted vines grab at my heals,
        
                              Tripping me up into a
                      falling,
                                                     stumbling
                                                                                    sprint,
                            Ca…cat’catching myself!
 
                                                     Moving forward once again…….

                                          Old roots dig deep into the earth,
   
                                                   Pulling all downwards
  
                                                          Into the rich,
 
                                                                dark,

                                                               decay

                                                               below
