#forest clearing

just over there..

you are allowed to want things.

My interpretation: You are lost in the woods, and you find yourself approaching a clump of dying pine trees and beyond them a clearing. The air feels still and hot. You realise that as you make your way closer to the clearing, the sounds of the forest have begun to diminish. All you can hear are your own movement and breathing. A strange tension fills the air. You feel the urge to shout or laugh but resist. You notice that the ancient maple tree in the centre of the clearing has a strange wood formation on it. Is that a seated man? You move closer to get a better look. Suddenly, the wind violently picks up. You look around wildly in shock and realise your left foot is inside the circle of toadstools. You look back to the maple as your heart begins to race. His eyes have opened.

When you happily dance with your friend in a forest clearing
