I Became


An ocean front...
surrounded

Then we seek what...
is not known
but believed
and felt

We could be west or
we could be east
north or south

An ocean front ...
surrounded
Then we cast our life line
to go to anywhere
uncharted

They will not find me this day
or tonight

I belong somewhere in the distance
maybe hidden in some
canyon out in the endless blue

New York City...
London England...
as today I am not a part of...
I sail the seven seas

I became mortal the moment I
was born

Life is here, this I know...
Life is out there too...

What reflection does the deep blue
cast?
Maybe mine.
