The Sphere’s Edge


Running barefoot through Eerie Wood
On the night when the Moon is Full
Reality twists and, like the branches, tangles
Blending darkness, shade and remaining light
Making reality surreal

Running barefoot up Eerie Hill
Alongside the brook that babbles downwards
Footsteps and trickles echo
And echo is carried on the cooling breeze
Through and into the night

Running barefoot across Eerie Top
Moonlight obscuring some stars
Wispy clouds covering others
Light raindrops carry tiny worlds within
And reflections shatter on landing

Running barefoot along Eerie Ledge
Through wet grass and squelching mud
Stepping firm yet sliding still
Invigorated yet anxious
The end is nigh and obscured

Standing barefoot atop Eerie Point
Looking out and over the rest of the world
Darkened yet bathed in the Lunar glow
One experiences flight without leaving the ground
And is suddenly released
Or swallowed whole by the Lucid Dream.

      Well, of a fashion, Prenin!
      I must say I’ve only ever experienced one Lucid Dream; and it was an odd experience at that!

    That is definitely an eerie wood! I would have been running like a wild thing to get out of it I do believe 🙂 Though barefoot could be something of a handicap for a suitable level of speed to get me out of there and off to somewhere less eerie even if it was Full Moon! Maybe you were thinking of blue auroras on Mars and with the low gravity there you believed you were in fact on Mars and could easily fly without leaving the ground! Makes sense don’t you think? 😀

      It makes perfect sense, Icewolf. Although if Eerie Wood had been lit by the Martian Blue Aurorae. I wonder if it would be as eerie? Hmmm…

          That should be a word, Icewolf. Atmospheric and moody, like a Winter’s Auroeerie eve! 😀

              It’d be a bank holiday if it were up to me, Icewolf. In fact, I’d make it be on Halloween… that’s an ideal time for it!
