The Hermit

Deep in the woods
Muffled footsteps, twigs snap
All that she's ever learned
Her whole story at her back

Pine scented breeze
And and amethyst incline
She begins to scale the mountain
Leaving everything behind

She knows it's time for rest now
She knows she here to stay
Welcomes the solitude
That illuminates her way

Alone
Alone
Where all that is felt
And all that is known
Held in sanctuary
Where her heart beats
Alone

Withdrawn from the world
Led by stars and lantern light
She's in search of herself
In black tourmaline midnight

She pulls her cloak around her
Cradled by the trees
Their universal wisdom
Teaching cosmic mysteries

She knows it's time for rest now
She knows she's found her way
Explores the vast expanse
That lies between the night and day

Alone
Alone
Where all that is felt
And all that is known
Held in sanctuary
Where her heart beats
Alone

Golden sunbeams sweep across
The endless firs and oaks and rocks
Dawn kissed frost begins to thaw
The day arrives and shadows are drawn
She knows someday she may return
To the world of noise that she's fore-sworn
But now she'll heal with silence and stone
In her icy mountain top

Alone
Alone
Where all that is felt
And all that is known
Held in sanctuary
Where her heart beats
Alone

Where her heart beats alone
