no place to hide

Are you here?
Sad ancient
In this place
So far … so far
Listening in silence
To the silence
So far away
Where all is still

Is all still?
Do you think so?

Or do you hear?
The cries and tears
So many … too many
Swelling their fears

And the universe turns
And the world burns
Their world burns

Yet I yearn
Yet I yearn

Yet even here there is no return
To childish dreams
When everything seems
As it seems

Clear and bright
In the sun

How ever far you run
There is never a good place to hide
