Even Shadows Are Afraid

It's a Heavenly sunny day              
To embark on a forest fray              
A path awaits, a hidden trail                
The woods aroma I inhale              
A chance to set my mind at ease              
While searching for inner peace              
A rock upon the flowing creek              
Feeling nature I hear her speak              
Babbling water, calm and serene              
Refreshing moments in this dream              
Tranquil echoes, the chilling breeze              
Softly whistling through fallen leaves              
               
Then hell ensued, natures desire              
A rage of burning leaves on fire              
Dark secrets expose empty woods              
Souls etched in bark that never could              
Flee the darkness nor find the light              
Vulnerable prey couldn't fight              
Predators hunt, then they devour                
Victims they have overpowered                
Bodies hidden by dirt and mud              
Nearby rivers remove the blood              
Accomplices in this crime scene                
Tandemly working killing dreams              
               
Trees dying from the deepest cuts              
As nature hides all their secrets              
A world void and absent of light              
Heaven and hell are out of sight              
Perched on this observatory                
A reflective purgatory              
Here souls are lost and souls are cold              
Between the timelines getting old              
Haunted by my life's masquerade              
Where even shadows are afraid              
To find redemption on this path              
By facing God to feel his wrath
