Elsewhere Here Everywhere

There stand a thousand walls
Of our houses aging well
And mothers of a thousand houses
There sleep waves of tiles
Renewed by the sun
And bearing the shadow of the birds
As the water carries the fish…

There I see from near and far
There I launch myself into space
Day and night are my springboards
There I come back to the world
To bounce back to everything
Towards every moment and towards always
And I find my fellow men

I am talking about a delivered time
Gravediggers of reason
I’m talking about freedom
Who will convince us in the end
No one will be afraid of tomorrow
Hope is not dust
Nothing will ever be in vain …
