Forest Phantoms

A will forlorn without release The things forgot still bring disease A dream of man to want a war The nightmare comes, but I still want more Shifting shapes stalking through night To my surprise, I’m frozen in fright The darkness climbs up to the sky Upon a tree with fixated eyes Nameless things speaking of death A place that sings without any breath Time now fades into one truth The darkness stalks; it waters my roots Tears and stone are what I’ve become The creature grows, but then the sun- ….Nothing there because there never was The light breaks through and now I can walk Forests die and forests awake A void will thrive until there is day A dream of man to want a war The nightmare ends when the sun shows us more
