Towers in the Mist

You think to yourself in soft song
a need for some kind of escape
You walk the paths, from concrete
to those far less traveled
Wandering the Earth in search of
a like-minded existence
you breathe in untainted air
and beneath their canopies
you feel at home here
Everybody is so used to talking
we have forgotten what it's like
to listen
so listen
and be given
priceless wisdom

So much sadness
You can feel their hymns
seep through the wind
on soft and coarse trunks
on leaves bled from limbs
so much sadness
you can feel it (feel it)
Feel it; hear them
they're alive
god, they're so alive
you know them
you can feel it inside
(feel it inside)
Let yourself smile
no matter how many tears fall
realize that for so many years
they, too, have fallen
You are not alone
you never have been
flow into their embrace
as if you never even left
Honor their courage
with your own:
acknowledge the grace
even in their deaths

Limb From Limb

(As if you never left)
You cannot deny your roots
they dive deeper than flesh
do not reject the swaying
of your soul in the weaving breeze
(feel yourself)
Climbing up and out
Remember what you are
FREE YOURSELF
Release your branches
oh, how they ache
to once again taste
the lowest heavens
Rejoin your true kin
BE TORN
LIMB FROM LIMB
remember what you are
this is where you belong
