Stay Close

Stay Close
Laijon Liu 20171108

To Survive is to Stay Close
To heed the familiar footsteps in dust storm
To take sanctuary behind your castle walls
To remember, to follow your matriarch
To cherish the leftover and fresh waterholes

Read the footprints of family and tradition
Those tracks lead thru dry lands to lush plains
And pay respect to the ivory bones on your path
They are the past preserved by time and wind
They hold mystery and the map of your road.
