Exodus

(Exodus of Refugees)

Trotting over dried up dreams leaving love to die, identity to dissolve they let familiar terrains swim past view with everything slipping out of eye shot no looking back, the unknown stretches far ahead behind the hills, muffled cries die down

It's best to leave dried up dreams behind--but the terrain doesn't get any easier--well said, Valsa.
