Leaving home


What are the gods playing at? 
As spirits spiral out of place
We, flitting and flirting still
On life's cycle and treadmill

Do we learn lessons from life?
Before the flight from our homes
With memories held ever close
Such essence of ourselves chose

We are then in passions sway
As our true selves boom with glee
We're on our own and all alone
And with the wind now tossed and blown

  2. The sense of rushing in the closing lines really works well.

  3. 'With memories held ever close

    These lines really had an impact on me.
