Far from all distractions
Or the need for interaction
Where the land meets the sea
In foam and debris,
I stand.
Mapped out in memory
And geography
Mind and matter
In this place there is no other
Alone i stand
I'm just
A trier in a choir
The voice of the wind
In the wire
Out of view
But whispering through
The longest of nights
The tug and pull
A circling gull
Runs rings around
The sweeping sound.
I feel
The spray and sand
On face and hands
Taste the salted palm
The things I am,
I am.
A trier in a choir
The voice of the wind
In the wire
Out of view
But whistling through
The longest of nights
I'm at your back
I'm in your ear
Ringing in
The new day,
Far from here.
