Here


Here
Is a vast mountain range
And colours of dying
And falling
And such steady steady rain

Here
Are silent waters
Kissing the shore
And ships waiting to carry
Such heavy loads

Here
Are a people whispering
So quietly
That they cannot be heard
Figures always on the move

Here
Is a still point
Where beauty breaks
Across tired faces
And weeps silently unseen

And here
Am I
Seeing the city
Seek its’ own
And so violently lose the stranger

try

really
i tried
the strain
the effort
the sinking
in hands
and arms
pushing
pulling
panic-ing
as evening
dims
into night
night is silent
and day
sheds
no light
really
i tried
and no-thing
changed
nothing was
carried by the
wind
to my weariness
until .... I just
stopped
... waited
and a hue
of golden glory
rushed up
from the
earth's
inner core ...
and there you were
dripping with
strengthen
for your ascent
home
