Caught out in the cold in the wrong place and time
Unsure of my whereabouts, alone in the bitter chill
The wicked grin of doubt casting shadows about
As menacing realities of what nightfall surely brings,
Hauntingly dance in the forest that surrounds me
What does darkness bring to a lost, lonely soldier
Once the moon is high above me in midnight skies?
A single warrior caught in Natures ferocious grip
Alongside whispering ghosts of the vast wilderness
No chance but luck to survive hunter’s of the night
Call to wonder what lies behind Mountains mystery
Spirits of Mother Natures majestic creation appear
A call to the wild as the secrets of the forest unfold
My imagination hangs on every story so portrayed
By falling snow, limitless sky, and timeless timber
