the twisting of language
when my muscles start to relax
my mouth tightens and bursts
while my head just
starts to hurt

a thousand highways are congested
and i'm afraid i'm one more car
feeling short of some fuel now
the destination's just so far

if i could sleep off the highway
maybe one more night
one less day
i'll make it toward my destination
where forever my bones
will lay

the trees fall,
they create my cradle

the river; at it's base i trip
at the cool water i ladle

convert me to that nature,
in the darkness of a corner
a ray of light
to trace the owl's flight

the moon on the ceiling,
walks me toward the meaning
tells me where the night is leading
and
i'm not doomed to walk afright

the fox is my brother,
near the chapel in the trees
the forest is my lover,
forever spouse to me
