lost at sea

i feel god made us

for each other

to unite and shine

the light of grace

in his widening glory.

but we are too narrow

in the moment, found

to stay apart in each.

i feel karma took

us here to meet

and to depart

across all deaths

i feel a river flows

and stops and breaks

dams and horizons

beyond our will

i feel a secret past

telling us to fight

and stay and another

to escape all chains

i feel old wounds

should be allowed

to scar and heal

but our fingers probe

and tear the flesh,

the skin, the soul,

seeking hold in memory

and shelter in fear

i feel we were made

to be together

giving peace to each

other but how

i have not seen.

one wave goes,

the other comes

to leave and make

space for the next.

there is nothing

to hold nor to let go,

all happens by itself.

i feel to feel is

to drown though

to swim and to fly

we could be the sky
