Veins

With time you grew in courage
Like a wolfpack encircling its prey
And took a probing step
Off this beaten and weatherworn path

You drove your hands into the soil
And dug deep for the roots
Not to break nor to stir
But to trace back to the cause
Now with a sunken heart and blood up to your wrists
You sit watching the clouds settle and murk

What you once sought
Can never be found
For they run black
The veins of this earth

The pure of heart
Of spirit and soul
Fill every crevice and gorge

What you once had
Can never return
For they run black
The veins of this earth
