Escape into Light


Escape into Light

The city, alone, a land of shadows
Empty streets, strange masked folk
Time at this level crawls and slows
Such a heavy burden in this yoke

Saturn in the night, gleaming rings
Jupiter the mighty, still and bright
The harmony of the planets sings
And the moon rising, pale, white

At the beach, buckets and spades
Holiday in the sun, freedom’s cry
Time to leave behind the shades
Into sunlight, sand, sea and sky

Sometimes hope is all we need
Just as when we plant a seed
