song

the feeling of loss is complete,
never finding again the place
where everything made sense
and the scent of the future
became almost unbearable

so much lost, whittled away
splinter by splinter, until
nothing is left but bone
and shreds of what used to be
and the possibility for more

come away with me again
o come away and start again
it is time to begin again,
loose the ties that have left you
bound to the earth and fly again,

reborn into the new world,
break the past into shards, bury them,
in some future time the creatures
we have left behind will find them
and wonder why we did not do it sooner
