Let's Move Away From Earth Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

let's move away from earth sang my soul
packing only what is necessary
for the soul to live

forgive the evicters what there is to forgive
and the victors their spoils, after all our toils
and all their souvenirs.

we shall pack light
and Light I echoed
echoing the spheres

transcendent are the skies
the clouds that float and fly
above the exigencies here.

oh God, my soul!
don't let it disappear
here where the waiting lists

grow longer by the hour
the eccentricities
of those in Power.
