I haven't been to the woods in quite some time.

I live near the sea but it is far too windy.

I miss midnight walks and seeing the forest dancing

The buildings here are cold and inert.

I find myself constantly wishing to be elsewhere

knowing that in the end I will find a place nowhere.

A home is in a person, but I don't know how to step out into that light.

I know deep inside that nothing should be feared,

rather it is meant to be understood.

But the demons always swallow me whole,

and I promise you I am trying the best I can.

I strive for wholeness, but for now,

I might need a crutch.

I imagine that it would be very windy living near the seashore.
To live near the woods, oh how mysterious. and yet at the same time it frightens me.
But as you said, nothing should be feared, only understood.
I think I would love to take midnight walks and listen to the night noises of a forest.
Of course, the change we always seek is never sudden.
we must again and again try, even if we need a little assistance.
How cliché to say, but in the end it is more true than one might think.
Dearest Maya, you are more than welcome to email me anytime if you would ever like to chat! :)
Oh Sparklehorse! My sister would listen to this song all the time. such a strange song. To me, I feel happy, yet my heart aches a little.
Such a sad story about the band. There was too much sadness lead vocalist's heart. which breaks my heart.
no one should have than much sadness in their heart.
