Lone Traveller in the Woods

There was a lone traveller in the woods,

As he walked through the October leaves,

A whispering sound surrounded him,

"O, Lone traveller! 

What do you seek from the woods?"

"To his perplexed mind, He looked around,

There was no one to be found!"

"O, lone traveller!

What do you seek from the woods?"

His fragile heart stood his feet firm,

His brave soul had dared to ask,

"Who is it that calls me?"

"Show yourself!"

"Who is that calls me?"

"Show yourself!"

"Else I found out, shall face my wrath!"

 The voice replied

"You dare spill your impertinent speech!"

"You human-made of ego and greed!"

"The wrath you talk of is a hollow speech!"

A gush of wind that curled the leaves,

A depression formed of pressure low,

An eye formed for a cyclonic storm,

Taints of brown and yellow in swirling flow,

There he saw a structure of human form,

His heads are five and eyes are stone,

A creature born from lifeless leaves,

To his eyes, he couldn't believe,

Astonishment surround the puzzled man,

"Is it a monster created in my head?"

"Is it a numen formed with foliole dead?"

His firm soul in demented home,

A blank mind of infinite thoughts,

Has he reached the ultimate truth?

Is it time to leave the globe?

The furious creature glared

into the eyes of The traveller

"I am the spirit of the autumn leaves!''

"I am the King of the jungle!''

"Is this how you mortals greet?''

''open your ears, listen to my heed!

''Tell me your name and what you seek!''

The traveller was scared, yet started to talk,

"Aura of a heavenly soul"

''A guise of a demon mould!"

"I bow in front of the jungle God!"

"I am Herod. I search a Home!''

Tell me!

''Why do you stop me from entering the woodland?''

''Is not the jungle Sapien home?''

The autumn spirit calmed the storm!

"You reach the woods to find your home?

''You left your home where you belonged!''

''This is my jungle, this is my home!''

''I don't allow a human soul!''

''humans kill and humans scorn!''

''you destroy your own souls!''

''Go, Herod! The jungle is not a Sapien home!''
