Set Sail

My feet carry me so quickly Running, wind whipping in my hair Don’t look back, escape it now Breathe in the unpolluted air Safe far from what was once my home Under the skies of blue and pink They turn to gold, then to purple As the daylight begins to sink All the beauty I once saw Disappears before my eyes Remaining are my thoughts and hope Just me, myself and I Voices whisper, calling me They are beckoning my soul Discover what lies beyond My truth unfurls like a scroll Sails billow on the winds of hope This journey must be done alone Eyes fixed on the horizon line I travel into the unknown Finally free to discover What the past hasn’t allowed Eyes stay forward, on this new world What has been lost will now be found
