Under

 'Tis but a dream in the forest of green,
'Tis but a sadness submerged.
Nought can be heard of my whispered word
For something is coming between.


Yes, you can write of the water of life
With phrases so buoyant and fine
But I stay below and unbearably so;
The green world out there isn't mine.



Thanks to The Mag

A super jump-off image

the separation/ distance very well evoked

I always rather like poems that rhyme

what poetry was supposed to do before it got too clever by half....
