Eternal, unending forest.
We have taken but small steps into your brambled walk ways.
No man would find the place of your beating heart alone.
And yet none walk far before the bond is broken
by piercing wooded arms, heavy mist, and fleeting trails.
Eternal, unending forest.
One looks behind to see the light of day,
shining on the unwearied flesh and bone.
From within, enchanting words are spoken
but daylight's safety beckons through a foggy veil.
Then cut the roots that bind your feet!
Shining in the daylight is your solace divine;
your escape is at a rhythmic beat!
Will you return to brighten paths unkind?
Haesoon's song burns through your thoughts!
In your radiance, those harmonies hidden
amidst the shadows revealed our blessed lot:
the footsteps of others lost and lonely-ridden
resound the eternal heartbeat of this unending forest.
"We are the same as those who stay
behind to build their lighted thrones,
all lost with wisdom half-awoken."
Eternal songs for many hearts so frail.
wow.
