O

Where do I go

I don't know

No matter where I go

I am standing in the centre

Of my horizon

How I cling to the Earth

With my hands and feet

The dove may lend me her wings

But I lack her sense

Of direction

Faith to fly through the storm

Two wings

One blue horizon

No land in sight

Deeper still the darkness waits
And the darkness has no face
You who hold no form, no shape
Which shape shall your shadow take?

One by one and two by two
They stand in silence
Patiently
This never used to be the beach
Green rustling islands
Tops of trees

One by one they watch the waves
A little closer
Every day
And every one is whispering
A deepening soliloquy

One by one and two by two
The line stretches across the beach
Past sunken twilit skyscrapers
Still glittering
Just out of reach

One by one they made the choice
With heavy hearts and clever minds
To take a chance
Upon a ship
And leave their drowning world behind

One by one and two by two
The tears flow down upon the world
They join the sea
Where they turn cold
Where they have made the water warm

One by one and step by step
The long line curls into the ship
They have been waiting
For some time
Now it is time to take a trip

One by one and two by two
The animals are led on board
They listened to
The warning signs
Survival will be their reward

One by one the lights come on
The dark machines begin to glow
A rushing sound
Drowns out the waves
Into the dark
It's time to go

One by one and two by two
They gaze in wonder through the night
At Sun and Moon and Stars and Earth
An endless sea of blue and white

One by one the ships fly on
But they have only taken half
The others watch in disbelief
And kneel before their golden calf

The Universe is all one thing
The mind says 'I am this'
and 'I am not that'
But that's not real
It's just an illusion
Just like everything else
In our minds

At the end
I hope that for a moment
I feel what it is like
To be
Unity

The Moon may cast a million shadows
On us falls the deepest one
Past the halo our own Earth glow
Casts our shadow on the Sun

You say: let's move the embassy
It isn't a big deal to me
It translates to a lot of press
I'll show the world that I'm the best

I'll show them I can dominate
One domino, a piece of cake
A bigger slice of the same pie
The kind of wealth that you can't buy

One domino, a little thing
What's that? I wasn't listening
You said that this was complicated
Overthought is overrated

But if you move one domino
You don't know how far it will go
If they are close enough together
Dominoes will fall forever
