    This is a real place that is a real mystery, not too far from where
    I live. One of the wonders of Indiana?. Stones on the side of a
    hill. 4 feet deep, 5 feet wide and 7-21 feet long, now scattered and
    full of their own hidden truths. I heard Stacey?s voice in my head
    as soon as I finished this.
     

        Browning Mountain(Tim Grimm)

        I took you up Browning Mountain,
        you did not know what you would see
        The sky hung blue on Browning Mountain,
        there stood the forest through the trees
        We walked the tracks of some old mule train--
        it took us back through fallen leaves
        It was on our way up Browning Mountain,
        that we passed the ghosts of you and me

        They were dressed in plain and simple clothing.
        They were walking down as we walked up
        With their arms entwined, they could not see us--
        their eyes were filled with timeless love
        I took your hand in joy and sorrow.
        We watched them fade so peacefully
        We were halfway there, up Browning mountain ,
        touched by grace and nearly free

        On Nebo ridge we felt the silence,
        and with your eyes you questioned me
        were those the ghosts of past or future?
        It's hard to know what's meant to be
        It was near the edge that I stopped you--
        I said ahead is the mystery
        Now close your eyes-- I know you trust me,
        there's even more for you to see.

        Where the view was almost sacred,
        across the hill like scattered bones
        these giant rocks lay in an order
        as if the gods played dominoes
        We don't know why, when or how dear,
        these ancient stones came here to be
        But they've made their bed up on Browning Mountain--
        Won't you rest your head on one with me?

        Just the sound of a lonesome sparrow,
        and the dance of a single leaf
        On a sun-warmed stone we lay together
        Sometimes the truth is a mystery
