Exit

Where’s the exit 

I can’t find it .

The lights are out and it’s dark

All the signs say entrance 

But to what 

Am I exiting or entering 

Is it goodbye or hello

Is it lost or found

No chink of light 

No door ajar 

I can hear the music

Outside 

Over the hill somewhere

But I can’t hear the words ,

Mumbled and faint 

The dogs are calling 

Join the pack 

We’ll lead you there 

Race with us 

Carry you on high ,

Deliver you at the feet of freedom

Collapse your soul 

Melt you into the sweet grass 

Pour you into the blue waters 

Cast you to the stars
