Whether By Horse, Or Horseless

I embark through mountains

The belly of the earth

Envelopes me like fountains

You're not by my side

So who will navigate me

Through the leaves and the branches?

Unreal foes and creatures

Altered forms and features

Whether by a horse

Or horseless carriage

I will return

Whether by a horse

Or horseless carriage

I will come home

Careful not to falter

The rumors of the night

Invade my ears like laughter

Thankful for the lights

That capture all the moths

And guide me with their brightness

Gather wood in darkness

Speak in tones of softness
