The Calling
 
There's a road that leads to a valley,
a valley my soul once called home
and if I make it back to that valley
from there I'll never roam.
The valley is surrounded by mountains
jaggered and capped with snow,
reaching up like a butted fortress protecting
the valley below.
The mountains give way to a forest
heavy with the scent of pine,
and the wild blossoms that grow there
hide beneath the snow.
As the road winds through the forest
making it's way to the valley below,
the air begins to thicken with the
smoke rising up from the homes.
The valley is dotted with cabins,
orchards and a mill, there's a general store
and a church that was also used as a school.
There's a road that leads to a valley,
a valley my soul once called home
and when I make it back to that valley
I'll know that I am home.
