imagining where I might be
when you close your eyes what do you see?
we'll both observe, just you and me
convergence of this heresy
set adrift out on the sea, feel the calm surrounding me
restlessly surrendering, when panic strike at ramming speed
I've landed here for now, a frightened sobbing coward
stranded in this consciousness
not one familiar shape, and no hope of escaping
head back, skyward, squinting eyes
desperate for some sign of life
the past comes flooding back, and now it's clear
that all along I was right here--right here!
you get as good as you give, and sometimes better
and I should've given better, I should've done better.
