LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL; DARK REFLECTION #SADJE’S #WHATDOYOUSEE #POETRYPROMPT #144

“For the visually challenged reader, the image shows a copse of trees, reflected in the water. There is a mystical light shining between the trees that’s also reflected in water.”

This is my offering to Sadje’s #WhatDoYouSee #WDYS Poetry Image Prompt. Hope that ye enjoy the read! 🤞🙏😁

There’s a light
A bright; glowing orange light
At end of the tree shaped tunnel
(Where does the light lead?
Is it the beginning
Or end of something?!)
Tall; towering trees
Stooping down to greet you
On your journey
With their creaking branches
Providing cover and protection
From the elements
(Reflected
In the still water’s mirror)
Creating the impression
Of another level,
Turned upside down
Lying beneath the ground
Underneath the surface
An alternate universe
Full of hidden depths
Same light
But no sky Same trees
But no grass
Life or death
Fantastical; mythical
Yet.
Is it all just an illusion?
A dark duplicate
A sinister simulation
Or an imaginative trick
Of the lens?!
