The Call of the Wild

Deep within the forest
wind across the mountains steep
The waves that don't sleep don't rest
atop the briny deep

The shadows always calling
the wilderness that pleas
The dreams in which you wake up falling
the fear that makes you freeze

The force that crawls within your mind
ever since you were a child
The urge to fly, leave your own kind
to answer the call of the wild
