Arcadia

•

night sky lies bereft and bound

my fingers, cold and tired still,

tracing the fading stars

in one final attempt

to pull myself closer

to wherever home is

through the dark clouds

and distant emotions

that linger high in the air

and my lips, cold and puckered,

whistling melody of the dust

for all things i’ve lost

across the seas

across the lands

and for all things

yet to be found

in me, in you, in us

and for all of you i’ve missed

what stories would the wind tell you?

i wonder, as i clench shifting sands anew

while the world starts waking up

into a hollow dream,

i step away from that sleepless night

to somewhere we don’t belong

with seashells in my pocket

and ocean air in my lungs.
