Road to Egypt

by Lobelia is truly blessed

Rated: E · Poetry · Philosophy · #834682

more meditation on exile

New road echoes old
Free slave
now slave of fear
Pillar of fire
a nightmare
Wrenching hearts
From home
Seeking refuge in dust and stone
And strange tongue’s song
Waiting word of death-
only clarion call
home
