Evening Escape
I step into the darkened
forest dotted with golden flecks of
sunlight dancing across the path,
contrasting shadows lurking within.
It’s like entering a fairy tale
when you don’t yet know how it ends,
and I enjoy the adrenaline as I
weave through the woods,
breathing deeply, drenched in this heat,
watching the ebb and flow of light
glisten on my skin as I move.

It sounds like a wonderful walk. Love “It’s like entering a fairy tale/when you don’t yet know how it ends.” But, like a good fairy tale, you have “shadows lurking.” Always a touch of the dark side.
I agree with Sylvia’s comment!
It’s nice to see your work here Amy! I can see the golden pools of light on the forest floor and feel the cool air. You really take me there. Thanks!
I love the scene you set in the first stanza and then the motion of the remainder of the poem.
