[Lyric] Lost (Stepehen Dobyns)

A cry was heard among the trees
Not a man's, something deeper
The forest extended up one side
The mountain and down the other
None wanted to ask what had made
The cry. A bird, one wanted to say
Although he knew it wasn't a bird
The sun climbed to the mountaintop
And slid back down the other side
The black treetops against the sky
Were like teeth on a saw. They waited
For it to come a second time. It's lost
One said. Each thought of being lost
And all the years that stretched behind
Where had wrong turns been made?
Soon the cry came again. Closer now
