Trudging down this worn remote path
Fumigated by mother earth's wrath
The wind grabs me by its futile grip
Flings me around like an old whip
Overshadowing trees eye me as I pass
Creatures giggle and lurk in the grass
Crickets wail my presence to beholders
Headlights denote cars upon the shoulders
With every pinch of fear that I dissolve
My legs scurry faster beyond my resolve
Dirt wraps around my icy cold hands
My mind wonders what lies in the lands
Fear pervades my ears, my throat my soul
I can't seem to free myself from this hole
Frantically I dig but I get covered more so
Spirits howl with rapture at my undying woe
Gasping for air and truth from within
Suddenly I notice warmth in the wind
Her hair is of gold and flutters like the sea
She speaks "if you want life, reach out to me"
"But if you deny love, forget all mirth
And if be it so, I'll pray your rebirth."
The words spin around in my inutile mind
Debating my fate with a surreal design
I yearn for her hand but dread to look back
I want to live again, but there's something I lack
Her eyes twinkle profoundly like crescent moons
Her aura is mute but I'm drawn to her rune
Pleading for help I cannot decide
I've to do something no more will I hide
Awaiting patiently above the rift
Realizing that I'm starting to drift
Mother earth yells with a distinct helpful roar
By lighting the sky to show me what soars
Heaven submerses the sky in ravishing form
And guides me to conquer my innermost storm
Immediately I reach out to take a hold of my friend
Disregard all worries, which die anyway in the end
Her hand felt like silk as it touched mine
Lifted me up and revealed what was in-line
At last I'm liberate, no longer recluse
My heart is discovered and finally in use
My eyes radiate that glee in my essence
Love is finally in my presence
Throughout my struggle for pure ecstasy
I realized the secret to overrule misery
In order to obtain inner peace, my dear
You've got to outwit that pinch of fear.
