Far Away

Suzanne Mondoux · 25 November 2020

I test the bow of love I can’t stand on my feet I find the doorway to the next step Far away I see the way I treasure the lay of the land I take home all that I have I stay in my double vision The arrow is in the quiver I walk far way in a day I reach my deathbed Far away in my dreams I loved this world The blue sky The raging sea The wild herds All grasping for a bit of life now Far away this world In a polished world you recognize many You recognize yourself Far away you are declaring all is well Shouting this is how we must survive Far away you glimpse through the crack You send an arrow through the iron gate Beautiful its glow Ashes rain down on a remembered world Far away a world once known Far away more pieces dismantled Far away no more command of this world Far away we see a glimmer of hope to live in this world
