WHERE NO ROAD GOES
jocelyn ortt saeed

I will go where no road goes
and the road will go with me:
I'll greet you in the sunrise
when the sunset sets me free.

I will dream in the fields of green
till their ears grow gold in me
till you appear to harvest grain
grown in the desert sea.

I will sit by the hut of mud
till walls break down in me
till new vines grow through memory
of flower and bird and bee.

I will climb the distant peak
still the world turns pale in me
till the lone bird of the wasteland
sings of spring in my withered tree.

I will sing till my song is sung
wherever you meet me
on road or field or mountain
in I or thou or we.

I will go where no road goes
and the road will go with me
to bring to you at sunrise
the now in eternity.
