Ancient Spirit

Ancient trees within a jaded path history begging for me to ask what lies here ,what lay before ? enter twined with vines gone mad bears witness to history of love and war Ancient spirits passing through a soul left behind no one knew Indian trails of tears a fallen tribe the ruins of the many left behind what lies before , what lies by side Ancient bloodletting crying through wind how to forgive a given sin why does one leaf find more relevance casting out the single broken branch dying slow like the pain within my soul an Ancient past refusing to let go...
