Arch

Turn away from me;
look to the east.
Things are not forever,
even if we want them to be.

Turn away from me;
look to the east.
East is where your head is,
and I am somewhere else.

Turn away from me;
look to the east.
You have yet to know hills
and a home of your own.

Turn away from me;
look to the east.
I promise you colour
as I retire from wisdom.
