I left the hallowed halls with their living sarcophagi and sonorous tones behind me one day.
I don't remember what day it was.
I probably didn't know it had happened.
I must have wept a little inside as I perceived that I had left my Lord behind me ensconced in the four walls of those halls.
Those voices behind me made themselves out to be having deep conversations with my Lord so I must have done.
There was no flipping of tables or shouted ultimatums or bowed disappointed heads.
I just slipped out through the small door at the side and walked out into the night.
Days, months and years have passed since.
And I walk on in the wilderness.
The other day I paused by a stream and sat there to catch my breath.
Lost in the unfamiliar setting.
And I perceived that my Lord was there with me, catching his breath as well as he sought to put as much distance as he could between him and those hallowed halls.
