To dust and back.

Iron birds wish to fly
Triangles of them fighting to stay alive
Across the coast.
Heaviest of lights unfolding under one breath
It will all come to a desolate end.
Now that they have disappeared.
A cruel time winter is
Time is stolen from us
Harsh and heaving on those beautiful wings
I stand here and stare at my last fragment of a dream
From rock piles and pebble paintings
I am once again frozen in scream.
Never heard.
From one place to another
From one sky to another
I search for what they call faith.
Assurance embraces me at a window
A silent whisper tells me to go on
An immovable spirit speaks.
Lingers on a while.
Mountains stand for what they believe in
A call to climb
Towards the light, inviting and inciting
The sunshine peeps behind a cloud
Tells me, “ Leave it all behind”
As faith throws open the window
“Let us go then You and I…When the evening is spread out against the sky”

There will be time , there will be time,
time to pack our bags, and walk through the street.
time to climb and to climb the stairs to meet the face that you really want to meet.
time for you and time for me
and time for the little boy who lives down the street.
time to smile and time to weep
and time to pick up the phone and sleep.
