Another Very Eerie Tale,
For My Old Brother Jersey;
Many Things Are Out There,
That Still Remain, A Mystery.
Music: Spirit Dance
It was a magnificent winter’s hike
Like dozens of these hikes before
I was high in the majestic Rockies
A wondrous place that I do adore
I had set out to ponder my life
I was on vacation, and I was free
I had taken time, away from work
To explore Creation’s ancient mystery
Yet, there was something different
About this particular wilderness trek
There was a very eerie aura in the air
That I couldn’t put my finger on yet
Perhaps, I had lingered on the trail
Just a little too long, before sundown
Perhaps, it was the simple knowledge
That I was the only living soul around
Perhaps, it was all in my mind
My imagination running wild
Perhaps, it was the kid in me
Fantasizing like a young child
I was now very silently perched
Next to a huge frozen water spout
And darkness was quickly setting in
Soon, every bit of light would be out
I was now standing on the precipice
Of a mysterious, silent, frozen world
A place, that was utterly captivating
Where one’s imagination could unfurl
Suddenly, the night wind stirred
And it began, quietly murmuring
Soon, through several dark caves
It began, whispering and churning
I listened very intently now
Was that just the night wind?
Or was there something else
When those shadows set in
I saw a giant shadow move
Across the opening of a cave
Then, I soon spotted another
Had I imagined that it waved?
Suddenly, there were murmurs
Echoing, everywhere around me
Then in an instant, they were gone
Had they now felt the need to flee?
I stood there, frozen in time
I felt as if I had been watched
By someone, or by something
My path had now just crossed
I remained, rigidly frozen in place
Just like that ice-entrapped waterfall
And I listened, so very intently again
Wondering if I would hear another call
Whatever this encounter had been
The silence had returned, once more
A very simple trick of nature, perhaps
Or something, from an unknown door
I eventually moved away from there
And I finally headed off on my way
But I still think about this experience
And, it still fascinates me to this day
I believe life holds many secrets
That we as a race, may never learn
But being the curious being that I am
Answers to many mysteries, I do yearn
