Aokigahara

A sea of trees
Emerald green look carefully it’s jet black
Tangled hearts in lava’s core
A mountain’s cursed shrine

A Samurai’s final act
Death by self a modern phenomenon
A Heretic’s choice
Rather die spreading Glory

Signs are posted
Don’t pass the ropes
Locals would say don’t go near
Easy to get lost
His ribbon will lead you back

Souls cry out “help us”
Hands laid down by nails
See the twirling steps
See His face
Gold is found in life again

Find their skeleton
But can’t locate their soul

Heaviness burns the ground
Water still flows down
Bouquets of flowers decompose

Destroy its venom
Take its power away
Lights walk through to destroy the Shadow
