Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

The rain on the road wears the bricks down and soon you won't see them anymore.

Its dark and its scary and you have dreams of fires as you sleep on this ancient yellow brick road. Stories and history seeping through your clothes and it starts to prickle your skin and numb your legs.

There's a fog and the bricks don't look quite so yellow anymore and you find that brings tears to your eyes.

Fantasies of sunlight haunt your thoughts.

Come with me.

 Build
                and
            build
    and
                             sweat
                and
      work
 for
                             what
      might
be.
                         Plaster
          and
                   bricks,
       plaster
     and
                               bricks


never stop working for what might be.

What will be.
