Once my son was old enough, 
 
 and once my wife consented, 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 
 I left behind the village 
 
 and left behind my people. 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 The unexplained fate 
 
 of my father who vanished, 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 who never returned, 
 
 from his quest to find his. 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 Living my entire life 
 
 supporting mom 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 until supporting my own family 
 
 until they were so strong. 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 So that they would not cry 
 
 when I left 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 in the footsteps of father 
 
 For a place I've seen in countless dreams, 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 The Mountains Yana, 
 
 steep walled and exalted, 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 their base close to home, 
 
 their peak far, far beyond the clouds. 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 Through the range, 
 
 as weeks passed 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 darker became the skies, 
 
 yet warmer the rock. 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 An eternity alone, it felt, 
 
 but I could not falter 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 I held my father's fate 
 
 entwined with my own. 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 My reserves had gone dry 
 
 many months ago 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 and yet with each hand-over-hand 
 
 I felt my thirst being quenched. 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 Without stopping to sleep, 
 
 somehow each foothold in the stone 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 seemed to restore my life 
 
 seemed to restore my youth. 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 Generations of gods must've 
 
 rose and fallen, 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 dynasties of my people must've 
 
 rose and fallen. 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 But I've long since forgotten about them, 
 
 since finding father 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 at the core of the Mountains Yana, 
 
 surrounded by our ancestors, 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 grandfather, 
 
 and great grandfather 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 and hundreds more 
 
 all with the faces of children 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 perfectly preserved 
 
 in a meadow in the sky, 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 in the heart 
 
 of the Mountains Yana, 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 turning their faces to me 
 
 and asking me 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 `` wo n't you play with us?'' 
 
 And the garden grows.
