Behind these walls, behind these barriers lies a region stationed in the unknown and obscure.
It is a place full of wonder and mystery and of things that we have never seen before.
It is a place where the flowers bloom in the winter and they give out when the earth's axis is on a tilt.
It is a place where the snow falls in different colors and the colors give the terrain a spark of life.

The moon glows red as blood and yet it rests placidly in the sky.
At times the clouds remain stationary and they give an open canvas life.
There are lacunas in the clouds that make it appear as though the sky has been torn asunder.
They lead to uncertain pathways, traveling into one could turn out to be a blunder.

Across the plains of the unknown lie a plethora of hidden caverns.
Hanging down from upon the ceilings are broken hearts that are so numerous they could make a tower.
These hearts give off an aura, they emanate with the light of disappointment.
They illuminate the caverns and they eliminate the darkness.

Hidden in ancient cities lie antiquated machinery powered by fervor.
Love, anger, sadness and joy are just a few of it's energy sources.
Carefully concealed in this realm are places where creatures of lore gather and disband.
They swim across the ocean, run along the plains, fly across the sky and travel along the sand…
                                   
This is The Realm of Evanescence, the place that no one can seem to find.
It is hidden within the confines of a cage where an object pulsates in the sky.
This is a vivid fantasy that is here one minute and the next it is gone.
At times it has captured a traveler's mind while their thoughts have passed along.

This place is representation of who we are from deep down inside.
If we are oblivious to our true self, then when we enter we are rendered completely blind.
The Realm of Evanescence has no ending nor does it have a start.
It is parallel to our reality, it is hidden deep inside of our hearts…


-Inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's "Dream-Land"
This is another poem I wrote which was inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's "Dreamland". I made my own world that lies deep inside of our hearts and that represents who we really are. I hope you like and please comment!
