That place I’d not imagined
Is the place I now call home.
Caught within the clashing waters,
Pulled by tides to seas unknown.
This frightening storm surrounds me,
Giving too much time to think.
As the water-walls crash closer
Where I struggle not to sink—
In sanity.
Holding on to sodden driftwood,
Wondering where my safe-place went;
Knowing fully how I reached this,
Yet unclear of the event.
Clinging tenderly to freedom,
Holding desperately to love;
Pity spent for others like me,
Pain for all the talking of—
In humanity.
Much too stubborn to release grip,
Far too weak to hold for long;
Crying frantically for rescue,
Knowing help will come along.
Time of lasting and impatience,
Held aloft by hope itself;
I drift helplessly in circles
On the course I stay myself—
All in my vanity.
