Into the Wild

By Thorn

Far from wretched city, the forest spirit is strong as days of yore
We remember those who dared to venture where few have gone before

In ancient land where trees grow tall and savage creatures thrive
The brave awaken inner strength and fight to survive

Weakness!!
Weariness!!
Powerless!!
To the Wilderness!!

Weakness!
The path extends so far ahead
Weariness!
Without a place to rest your head
Powerless!
The might of man a fraying thread
To the Wilderness!
Where these few brave souls are led

In the plain
Upon the hill
Surviving on unyielding will

Confront this challenge
Face this trial
Set out into The Wild!
