Mist on the Hermitage

[Chorus] Wood smoke curls through sunbeams bright Pine trees veiled in morning light A quiet peace, a gentle dawn My soul is still, a leaf on a cold pool's lawn [Verse] A mossy roof, a misty hill This humble hermitage, standing still I found my way as night did fade A simple ritual, a promise made [Pre-Chorus] I strike the match, a tiny spark To chase away the lingering dark This clay stove warms my weary hand In this forgotten, peaceful land [Chorus] Wood smoke curls through sunbeams bright Pine trees veiled in morning light A quiet peace, a gentle dawn My soul is still, a leaf on a cold pool's lawn [Verse] The worn stone basin, cool and deep With captured rain, secrets to keep The wind it whispers, soft and low Through ferns that sway, a gentle flow [Pre-Chorus] No rush to move, no need to roam This sacred place, I call my home For just this moment, time stands still Upon this quiet, misty hill [Chorus] Wood smoke curls through sunbeams bright Pine trees veiled in morning light A quiet peace, a gentle dawn My soul is still, a leaf on a cold pool's lawn [Bridge] The world outside can rush and roar But here I find what I searched for A stillness found, a quiet grace Reflected in this tranquil space [Verse] Each pine needle, tipped with dew A perfect world, serene and new I watch the fog begin to shift A precious, solitary gift [Outro]
