I belong in green forests
I belong in gray seas
The shore’s were I’m surest
Beneath waves I can breath
I belong amidst summits
I belong atop cliffs
Where other hearts plummet
Mine starts to lift
I long for the sea
I long for each tide
I long for the breeze
And the stars at my side
I want leaves in my hair
I want vines on my wrists
I want to breath in blue air
I want earth in my fists
I want salt on my lashes
I want trees at my stern
As each season passes
Another I’ll earn
I’ll watch for each solstice
I’ll encompass the night
The moons where my soul sits
But I’ll be back for first light
With each passing phase
My soul will eclipse
Life swells and fades
As the winds brush my lips
I belong far from doors
I belong far from walls
I’ll take the earth as my floor
Or I’ll take nothing at all
