I headed to the woods to find myself;
Fogged with sorrow and joy deprived.
Feeling downtrodden, my heart is heavy
There I seek solace; in solemn silence, delved.
The woodland is vast where river runs
Bubbling mournful songs of a life misunderstood;
Strained through the cracks of rocks
Down to the stream, its water flows ...
The water feeds the roots of this peculiar view
A view of a tree with imposing height
A speared trunk at its junction - cut and wounded;
Such a deeply cruel act, unredeeming.
How am I supposed to dwell in peace?
To heal my broken heart in this tranquil place;
In the depth of the woods, the wind is cold and eerie;
As it passes by this tall tree, marred by a tragedy.
