The mountains are calling

Deep in the recesses of my heart

The dark corners

The left turns and the right angles

The obtuse and acute triangles

There is something

Something on the borderline of a feeling..

I guess.

Take me to the woods to see!

Autumn is here and the mountains are calling

Seeing them from a far these days 

It’s no longer good enough.

I’m anxious. Uneasy.

I want to be IN them,

feel them

claw my way back.

I want to smell dirt and damp earth

Switchback, scramble, climb and traverse.

This ache in my chest

This weight of the world..

Only she can cure it

The Mother, Gaia.

I want your tears to wash over me, Gaia.

Wash away my sins and my fears

Comfort me.

Take away my thousand yard stare.

When I can no longer see what’s behind me

And the only thing in front of me is forever

Only then does my heart open

Only then am I truly free.
