These Grim Woods

So earthbound spirits learn to live
On passing things-
The fear of cold
The love of comfort
And the toll
Of lost and found.
I counted out the things I’ve done
In these grim woods-
The things I’ve seen,
The lives I’ve lived
And all the faces
I have been.
A stained and melancholy path
Through forests where the
Ancient pines
Look down on us, impassive,
Watchful,
Of our crimes.
And yet I’ve touched on something more-
A cold, clear note
That comes and goes.
The implication of a song
That no one
Living knows.
We’ll hear that note
Just once or twice
But never see the one who sings.
So earthbound spirits learn to live
For worldly things.
