The Open Sea

In the tangle, in the blindness

In the spiral, in the wind

You are the bridge, the key

The way across and in

Far past the barriers

I almost had the sense

On fire, I knew you there

Sharpened an awareness

To a point that has effect

The light switched on

Where the lines intersect

Flowing at every angle

Everywhere at once

On fire, I knew you there

How did I get to you

And where can you be seen

In the tangle, in the blindness

In the distance in between

Between the terminal, and the open sea

Between sudden ends, and infinity

Between the darkened veil, and ecstasy

Between the open air, and boundaries

Between the constant ground, and the distant shore

Between the promise of less and needing more

Between the limitless, and unopened doors

Between audacious mouths, declaring war

Between the desperate, and endless love

Between the buried past, and the sky above

Between the bitter end, and life begun

Between penitence, and oblivion
