How did I land here?
This rock in the middle of this ocean?
How did I get here?
This tunnel and this pit?
It all started with light.
The pleasant trees and silver rippling waters.
Or maybe that's how I remember it.
Through the glow of that early decade.
The laughter and the light of the fire.
Fireflies and the falling stars.
The all knowing and the carefree absolutes
All memories of that early decade.
But I see this loneliness even then.
On the point all alone
You lit the sky and warmed my heart
And I ask again how I landed here?
The tears stream down my face.
salt water in my mouth.
On this rock in this ocean
In this tunnel and in this pit?
The fading glow of that early decade.
