journey

The air is grey and cold

Breath of air thick and heavy

My body numb -

My heart aching

Alas,

You have not slept a blink of an eye.

Not rested your soul

-long enough.

Alas,

I have to wake you up

Sighted is the morning star.

Heard is the sigh of the moon

-"S.o..o..o..l.o.n.g."

Alas,

You had bit-of-a-time to dream

And not dreamt -long enough.

Alas,

Road is rough and weather disagreeable

But the journey,

We have begun.
