And I,
I am in no man's land
caught between continents
straddled between seas
as they roll
from the deep
and splash up on my knees

I am in between
a place
of light emerging
upon my face upturned
a kind of healing on the way
and also of emotion surging
rough waters breaking
on the quay

I cannot control it
cannot take it anymore
having such multiple times
to peel my heart from the floor

I wander here, in this land
pick strange fruit from the trees
I forage for berries
following birds and the echoes of bees

I look around
And try to see the wonder,
as lightning strikes down
as the skies rage in thunder

I am looking for you
but cannot find your presence
and at dusk,
in my loneliness
here I learn my lessons

For I seem to be cursed
to wander my days
In this in between place
Of longing
that just stays
and stays.
