slowly, and steadily, the descent
to the forest again, the lonely trees
the hush of wind in their leaves.
back to the place no one ever sees.

slowly, and quietly, the climb
up to that house where she wept,
where that mind was shattered.
back to the memories I had kept.

slowly, and calmly, the sight
of the sun leaving, the sky melt
to the darkness I came to love.
back to the darkness I ever felt.
