Escape
Once I followed a prophet
Step by step
He walked a little ahead.
Until I passed through a doorway
That was framed only for me,
no longer did I follow a prophet
he walked a little ahead
and I let him go.

Have read this a number of times Carole and like the enigma of it. There could be a number of interpretations. The one that leaps out most to me is perhaps the loss of religious faith. I suppose it could also apply to the loss of faith in a person - the decision to go it alone and the parting of ways. The fact that it is under the Escape umbrella would indicate that your previous condition was a negative one.
I like the simplicity of it - it works.

A few layers on this for me too, Carole - the ending particulars works well for me with the end but I really like it x
