Exodus Poem by Valsa George

Exodus

Rating: 5.0


Trotting over dried up dreams
Familiar terrains swim past view
Again, no looking back!
The unknown stretches far ahead
Behind the hills, muffled cries die down
Leaving soundless echoes in the alley of the ages

Being reminded of an unfavorable past, though I don't know what's ahead, I refuse go back. Very good.

is this about the Biblical exodus with Moses? Good thing the Red Sea wasn't dry, though Moses probably had other tricks up 'his' sleeve. or was it the Dead Sea? or is that only famous for rolls...........i mean scrolls? ? i like using dried up: and in the next line swim. alley of the ages.......... nice alliteration and it sounds 'cool', though i may not understand it. i found this poem when i typed Looking Back in the search box for your poems. Savita T. sent it to me and i want to leave a comment on its page. bri :)

Very nice realization. at one point you have to move forward leaving behind so many past incidents as muffled.
