The Geist!!

I am the mist in the pines The cold that shiver-starts the spine A breath of frost on a moonless night The Hallow-born, the absent light I am the Geist, the empty space Where once you touched a living face (I am the Geist...)

Do you remember the silver ring? The way the forest used to sing? Your pulse was fire, my skin was gold A story never meant for growing old A wolf’s devotion, a woman’s grace Locked in a wild and fierce embrace Bound by a blood-oath, soul to soul The two of us made the mountain whole

The moon returns but she is gone He howls into a graying dawn Searching the scent of a faded track But the static never gives her back He wanders through the silvered stone A predator, but all alone He cannot find the heart to move Locked within a hollowed groove

The winter Comes with a sharpened edge A slip of foot on the frozen ledge. The snap of bone, the sudden chill - The way the world deathly still! Maybe my warmth leaked out into the snow, either way, I felt the tether start to go! The wolf screamed out to the uncaring sky, As the Hallow took what was meant to die!

The moon returns but she is gone He howls into a graying dawn Searching the scent of a faded track But the static never gives her back He wanders through the silvered stone A predator, but all alone He cannot find the heart to move Locked within a hollowed groove

I reach for the fur but my fingers are air I’m screaming his name but there’s nobody there I am the echo, the rattle, the sigh I watch him suffer, I watch him cry A Hallow vessel, a spirit-thirst By the gift of memory, I am cursed I am right beside him, cold and thin But I cannot get back underneath his skin

Now he carries the scent of the grave In the hollow of the mountain cave He bites the air where I used to stand Licking the dust from his empty hand The fur is matted, the eyes are dim His own wild nature turns on him A beast with a burden he cannot shed Living for a ghost who is already dead

Wait for the sun to finally set Wait for the world to all forget One day the fur will turn to white And you’ll step into my Hallow light Beyond the blood, beyond the bone We’ll find a path that’s ours alone Wipe the earth... Wipe the earth from the cage... Until we meet in the Geist. (the Geist!)
