A long road untraveled
A lone figure stood
Gazing at the entrance
To the mysterious woods.

The figure stood far
Along the yellow road


And took a solitary step


Onto the bent grassy marsh




He bent beneath the undergrowth,
Three more steps he took
Telling me to stay away,
“Don’t tread foot in the woods.”

I now stand where he once stood
And gaze at the yellow road


As the solitary figure




Disappears down the lane




Alone in the woods
