Exodus



I step in ravishing snow,

hugging myself to sleep

under a withered tree's glow. 

Children chatter and play,

They dream of imaginary places

And forget about the coming end

of to-day. 



Come a little closer,

don't stay in the shadow of the sun. 

Auguries of beauty will be free

to leave their droplets on our skin. 



And we'll watch the world rotate,

bent under the weight of expanding minds. 

Suns rise and clouds drift,

a seemingly everlasting merry go-round. 



But even if the earth goes to slumber,

it'll fall on deaf ears. 

Because I'll be living away my fears

in the pools of redemption. 

And you will be near me - 

Waiting for me - 

As I wander among

the exodus of the world.
