I got out, to get in(Arnold Melleby, 02.22.2025)


I always rode on

roads less traveled

to meet the likes of someone

like you

I always prefered

to stare at the moon 

rather than into

the blue eyes of the likes of someone like you


I got out

to get in

just to see your face again


the morning came

I found my horse

and rode along

the ancient trails

my forefathers rode for me

along with my foremothers 

feeling at home

no matter how foreign the landscape may be


anyhow

I got out

to get in

just to see your face again

I had it all in the palm of my hand

but I got out

to get in

just to see your face again


hands are given

hands are taken

luck is brought

luck is taken

justice rules

and justice is 

blindfolded

by the hands of others   


I got out

to get in

just to see your face again

I had it all in the palm of my hand

but I got out

to get in

just to see your face again


love never took a longer road

to make her ends meet

but here we are

and by the way

do you feel

enough

to stay


I got out

to get in
