Calling You - Kari Rueslåtten

You’ve got a story to tell

And a place to come home to

Yet, you choose to hide

Do you feel safer out here

Where no one will be watching

Or do you fear the light

I am calling you

I am watching you

I walk with you

I play like you

Unafraid and blue

I hear them whipping the mule

As they follow the coffin

Destined for the field

The mourners behind

I see you’re walking amongst them

I know you need my voice

All these familiar faces

All gathered around the open mouth

I see your shadow down there

— But then it’s gone
