beyond the blue
there is dismay
and there is disarray
distressing is the one
who shall not be named
a nation’s people unafraid
and deeply motivated
making a connection
between the now
and the heretofore
a mass migration begins
leaving the status quo
for the impossible
beyond the blue
there is a peace
yet to be discovered
whether deep below the sea
or high above the stratosphere
where open minds exist
