Into the Mountains

INTO THE MOUNTAINS
Into the mountains
I run but I cannot see
The Shadows are haunting me
The trees whisper
But I can't hear what they say
The shadows are circling me like a pray
Northbound I drift
My compass is home
The forest is alive and watching me
Its trails lead to my destiny
Into the mountains
A silence overwhelming
I can sense the wind of death in my neck
The face of landscapes erased
Millions of souls sing in the trees
The voices of my ancestors
Chanting in my head
Northbound I drift
My compass is home
The forest is alive and watching me
Its trails lead to my destiny
Into the mountains
The path was open
But the Forest locked me in
The only way out
Is the rivers stream
From these haunted mountains
No man can descend
Cold silence enfolds me
At the journeys end
