Darkness remains , to be unravelled.
I’m straining my probing eye, as I travel.
Searching too long and too hard, making too much noise,
chasing tiny creatures away with the tone of my voice.
Night is approaching, air is growing cool.
Content in the midst of the wood as an innocent fool.
Leaning back on a treetrunk, watching the fi re.
Something curious is sneaking up drawn by my desire.
Walking all alone in the wild wild wood.
Walking all alone in the wild wild wood.
Don’t get up, don’t turn around to stare.
Cause all will be lost, and there will be nothing there.
Mysteries will approach if you don’t try to look.
Stretches of shining white makes a readable book.
Nightly mother of touch, taste, smell and sound.
Bless me tonight, wherever I am bound.
If I was a drop of rain on a summer leaf,
if I was an icecapped mountain, maybe I would feel
no grief.
Walking all alone in the wild wild wood.
Walking all alone in the wild wild wood.
Road is long, breath is brief.
Walking through pleasures, walking through grief.
Climbing is hard, rest a relief.
Hopelessnes is a whispering thief.
Try to carry water, courage and mirth,
gifts you were given long before birth.
Share what you have in your heart and purse.
Dream of the stars, accept you’re on earth.
