Marked

I bear the marks,
On my skin,
The wild blesses me,
From within,

Cast out,
Left to die,
The people have left me,
I must survive,

The tide waits for no one,
Just as the sea and sky,
Light and dark, day and night,
The beasts that roar and the birds that fly,

Marked by nature,
The beast is my friend,
The leaves, my companions,
Bonds that never end,

Survival instinct,
Pulses through my mind,
What can I lose?
I've left everything behind,

I must be light as the breeze,
On an eagles wing,
I must live with the wild,
With the wolves I sing,

Marked by nature,
Nothing remains,
I wash the clothes,
Remove the bloodstains,

Marked by nature,
The beast within,
The darkness coming,
I will fight with my kin.
