I wrote this after camping in the woods for about 8 months
studying shamanismdruidry...."mystery"

I've been walking upon a never ending road.
Searching for a place that can turn my heart to gold.
Around every curve is a new place to see,
Though where it is i'm looking for remains a mystery.

Traveling through the mountains,
In the Southern Appalachians,
My body cries out to head back home.
Weary of the ebdless miles,
I'd like to rest for a little while,
Yet my mind says i still have a long way to roam.
Often i see a brilliant display,
When the Autumn wind blows the leaves away,
Makes me realize how much i am alone.
Dawn arises like a long distance runner,
Graceful, yet strong is Mother Nature,
My joining with her puts strength in my bones.

I can hear her whispers conveyed through the wind
I can feel her presence everywhere that i've been
I can taste her sweetness as the night grows cold
I can sense her turning my heart into gold
I can smell her fragrance carried by the breeze
Through her i see the answer to my mystery.
