Jean Nordhaus Quotes

I Was Always Leaving"

I Was Always Leaving, I Was
about To Get Up And Go, I Was
on My Way, Not Sure Where.
Somewhere Else. Not Here.
Nothing Here Was Good Enough.

It Would Be Better There, Where I
was Going. Not Sure How Or Why.
The Dome I Cowered Under
would Be Raised, And I Would Be Released
into My True Life. I Would Meet There

the Ones I Was Destined To Meet.
They Would Make An Opening For Me
among The Flutes And Boulders,
and I Would Be Taken Up. That This
might Be A Form Of Death

did Not Occur To Me. I Only Know
that Something Held Me Back,
a Doubt, A Debt, A Face I Could Not
leave Behind. When The Door
fell Open, I Did Not Go Through.
