Before Morning

as starbeams 
fly through
     the known 
universe
    we sit here 
on 
  our 
     small 
orb
    waiting for 
the magic 
       that 
       will 
free us
         from captivity
     as we walk, 
chained 
           we watch 
the 
   phoenix of 
hope
      begin its
 unearthly flight
                   leaving 
      the shadows 
               behind us
we begin our
    journey
to the promised land!
