Where do you go, so far away? <br />Rocket ships can't get there from here <br />No winged creature could follow that track <br />There's something in the eyes that chills <br />Hands that are cruel, stronger than before <br />Something that skulks, yet taunts from afar- <br />An anchor holds me underwater, I can't swim; <br />An anvil weighs on me, I can't escape <br />Please come back from that nether world <br />Where everything is backward and pitched <br />Come back to where voices carry <br />And warm eyes plead not in vain <br />The peaceful ones sleeping in tombs <br />Are no less responsive, in their time stilled reveries <br />Where do you go, so far away?<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/where-do-you-go-so-far-away/
