I once walked calmly through the cold, dark woods
Not afraid of what could have lied ahead
Strapped to my cold back were my gear and goods
Far away from any cottage or bed
I went to be alone with just my mind
Needing some time for me to clear my thoughts
It was not long before my head aligned
And I finally got what I had sought
Walking this path taught me one simple fact
That in a place where dark and evil creaks
You always find what always seemed abstract
And you find out that you are not so weak
A place alone is a place to find peace
A place alone is for your mind’s release
