Departure

Solace in the night

Graceful rays of light

Skin cells and scattered dust in flight

Radiant stars ablaze

Threatening a blinding rage

Spectrum of colour misplaced

Cravings to explore

Gravity contort

Convoluted ground from which, born

Tearing from the helm

Longing an outer cell

Take me to the moon to dwell

Take to flight

Brace for danger

A kiss goodbye and to the angels you go

And I know its over

Do I already know the ground I roam?

Pay witness to memories rising from words on a page

I could be wrong

My youth is a dove that cries to be freed from its cage

We risk it all

In the hope that we find satisfaction at a later stage

Oh how we were wrong

We are the modern age.
