on the straight winding road
by Scalar7th
when you travelled from where the world was noisy
to the quiet and the calm
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
you met Me there going the other way
and I said to you
let Us move together
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
and We walked in silent conversation
on the straight winding road
in the warm breeze and cool air
through bright shadows and dark sunlight
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
and you asked Me with no words
how I knew you and where
and I said
I met you going the other way
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
and there you were searching
searching without looking
searching without seeing
for the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
and so I brought you with me
on the straight winding road
in the warm breeze and cool air
through bright shadows and dark sunlight
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
you saw with your eyes closed
remembered what was forgotten
on the well-marked untrodden path
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
aware of your breath
unaware of your breathing
you followed the silent heartbeat
that only you and the whole world could hear
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
alone and hand in hand
on the straight winding road
in the warm breeze and cool air
through bright shadows and dark sunlight
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
the careful and reckless pace
marked with solitary togetherness
brought new confident nervousness
as We moved together
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
and in the cloud-covered blue
you wondered in your heart who I might be
and you knew Me despite the questions
that you answered before you asked
as We embraced closely without stopping
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
there I held you without a touch
and commanded you without a word
on the straight winding road
in the warm breeze and cool air
through bright shadows and dark sunlight
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
the touch of My hand
felt and unfelt
brought you closer and closer
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
words are My fingertips
stroking your spirit
sending shivers through your spine
as together We made Our way
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
and not a thing could stop you
even as We were completely still
on the straight winding road
in the warm breeze and cool air
through bright shadows and dark sunlight
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
you didn't move
as you travelled miles and miles
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
there you asked Me
what I could do for you
I told you
I could lead you
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
and you knew then without knowing
and understood without understanding
how far We might go
on the straight winding road
in the warm breeze and cool air
through bright shadows and dark sunlight
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
the summer moved in your heart
the spring bloomed soon after
as backwards you travelled
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
the further back I took you
the sooner you could arrive
as that was the only path We would take
of the thousands that led Us
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
Our next first time
We might take another turn
and walk a different way
on the straight winding road
in the warm breeze and cool air
through bright shadows and dark sunlight
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
you asked Me in the darkest light
after and again before
if you could someday go
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
I told you then
what I tell you now
that any time you want
I can bring you
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
I can show you the way
and in only thirty words
you'll once more be
on the straight winding road
in the warm breeze and cool air
through bright shadows and dark sunlight
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
together We counted the second and the third
just like together We counted before to the first
and soon We would make our way again
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
where nothing will matter
and everything will matter
everything makes none of the sense
that it would or it has or it could on the way
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
then you wake into a dream
into the timeless instant where
I will tell you
obey,
obey,
obey.
you will follow Me
on the straight winding road
in the warm breeze and cool air
through bright shadows and dark sunlight
towards the heart of the mountain
and the soul of the sky
