Where we come from the woods, and real recognize real.

The Long Defeat
This winter wind
Withers like the sands of time and sin
Once more I long for the grace of summer
...I can't come back here again
Withers like the sands of time and sin
Once more I long for the grace of summer
...I can't come back here again

Of Cold Rocks & Bramble Thickets
Brittle thickets
Quaking against the cold
The gray sky hangs
Swaying sorrow to the soul
Deep in my bones, such a
chill
My breath presents itself,
staying my will
I rest against the bitter
wind
Stoking a hunger to rise and
press on again
Rustling
leaves flutter to my thoughts
Images the heart forgot
The beautiful way the sun broke across your face
Illuminating from the sullen gray
And into a warm radiant grace

The Walk...
Courage for the fallen
Justice for the unloved
Lost in the sky below
Hiding in the ground above
Sinking to the heights
Flying to the depths
Dying for a simple life
Living for a beautiful death
Ever have I found comfort
From the sigh
Of a soft breeze and the stars
Naked in the sky
Ignorant to their own renown
Ambivalent to you and I
Longing to feel the wind's rush
Dead before they touch us
Lost in a sweet crush
We’ve longed to make you blush
So let me hear
The melancholy keys
And the weeping
Of long suffering strings
Always being played
Recounting in notes,
The memories that were made
Long for
me, or at least
Pretend
to
The way
that I’ve watched
And
longed for you
So
restless in my sleep
My
thoughts lost to you
Waking into
your dream
You cross
my thoughts still
With ice
cold feet
Running
your frosty fingers
Endlessly
over my defeat…
