THE BIGGER PICTURE

I WAS STARING AT MY WALL,
WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I BEGAN TO fall.
WHEN I GOT OFF THE GROUND,
I WAS AMAZED WITH WHAT I FOUND.
I HAD COME INTO THE PAINTING IN WHICH I STARED,
BUT TO MY SURPRISE I WAS NOT SCARED.
SO I BEGAN TO WALK AND LOOK AROUND,
TOWARDS THE LAKE WAS WHERE I WAS BOUND.
I WALKED THROUGH THE TREES,
ACCOMPANIED BY A MIDSUMMER BREEZE.
PERFECTLY CALM AND FEELING GOOD,
I ARRIVED AT THE EDGE OF THESE MAGICAL WOODS.
HYPNOTIZED BY THE SOUNDS OF THE RIVER,
I SAT BY THE LAKE AND TRIED TO FIGURE.
JUST WHAT HAD HAPPENED,
AND HOW IT WOULD END.
AS I WAS SITTING THERE THINKING I LOOKED ACROSS THE LAKE,
WHAT I SAY MY BREATH IT WOULD TAKE.
I WAS LOOKING INTO MY HOUSE AT MY LIVING ROOM FLOOR,
TO WERE I STOOD JUST A MOMENT BEFORE.
HOW TO GET BACK I DID NOT KNOW,
IN WHICH DIRECTION DID I HAVE TO GO?
SO I CLOSED MY EYES,
AS I BEGAN TO REALIZE,
THAT I WAS IN A DREAM,
JUST AS REAL AS COULD SEEM.
