My Mountainside by Skye Steele Lyrics

Got up early
Blue snow morning
Something from my dream lingered
Around the corner

But hidden from my eyes
Were the secrets of my mind

Walked out early
Lofted burdens
Hoisting them to my spine—
Testudine.

In the shadows of my head
Something moved, something fled
Though I turned to face full
Our shared axis turned too.

Onward upland,
I malea,
Snowfield feathered and serpentine
Over falling stream.
As water builds a storm
My blood was transformed
In the mountain’s shady thigh
Each step stranger grew I
On the mountain’s dizzy heights
I brought my old ways to die.

***
Up mountainward through the snow
My tracks will remain until the thaw
And in green times you’ll think of me
Wherever you climb there I’ll be
As water rolls, Earth set your speed
Choose not the path, stay by the creek
You’ll know the place when you arrive
Clouds circumflex where I lie
But stay with me an hour not more
Return before dark to the valley floor
And carry me back home to lie
Just in your breast
On my mountainside
Leave me to rest.
