This Feeling Inside Me
When there is nothing left the say but the impulse to express
The tears of a thousand lifetimes searching for you
is the ocean I sail upon today,
stunned with the knowledge that both of us
are very much alive alive,
but oh so many miles apart.
Wind in my sails, I see the sun,
the sky, and the backs of my own hands,
having aged, it seems, when I wasn’t looking,
odd little brown spots some kind of secret code
I do not understand.
This feeling inside me,
this uncontainable, untranslatable feeling inside me
is all I am today,
my heart, a helium-filled child’s balloon,
flying free.
Overhead, I see a seagull,
just one,
wings outstretched,
having caught the updraft
and gliding.
