The beginning of a wooded trail
That leads to an ancient ground
Trodden for a thousand years
... and nothing ever found
Solitude in this mountainous wood
The delicate sounds of the leaves
Insects are creeping all under foot
Chewing all that will not be
A home of the ancient resides above
Mandrakes rule the quiet grounds
A heavy feeling begins to flood
And churn all the wooded sounds
An existence that few believe to be
A waiting presence that time has bound
What awaits me in yonder lee
The peaceful journey, is no more found
Heaviness weighs the wilderness
A quietness that speaks so loud
Intriguing feelings that ever lure me
To the heavy abode on ancient ground

Very good write, if only that ground could speak we would learn of many things.
Magnificent.
