I pulled a charley horse 
as my ass reared its head 
at a passing rattler 
tossing me upon a stone 
 
the woods are dark as i awaken 
from a dream of Emily 
my search abruptly halted 
 
I hear distant bells echo lightly 
through the still trees and memories 
 
do I fear the night or relish it? 
this she queried of me 
as I began my journey 
to find 
my Emily 
 
and should we meet here 
in the lost beauty 
of forbidden stars 
before the night ends 
in dreams death 
 
will it then capture us forever 
relinquishing our day 
our awakened love?
