Eternity Road

Outside my window 
cars are rushing by
      Inside my window
life is rushing by 
     Vote for eternity!
Let the savage howls 
     of the multitude 
  fade in your mind
        Now is the time 
for you to escape
   I'll join you 
   we'll need a getaway car
and a heavy sense of peace
    I believe we can 
    journey to a better place
if we join hands 
      before dawn breaks
we'll have escaped
     the onrush of time 
Learn to live peacefully 
     blissfully unaware of 
       the world's troubles
  Seeking shelter from the storm
we'll find the perfect spot 
   Somewhere in the distance 
  Eternity road beckons 
   Let's not be too late 
    to answer its call

I appreciate your poem content Matthew. Stop the world complexity, the long black train headed for nowhere. That perfect spot is a sacred place, strait and narrow is it's path, few are able to find it. smile. Agape, Moses
