Far & Free

It ends here.

The feeling of loss.

In it, I couldn’t find my way out.

Endless loops of entrapment.

I wanted anything else.

I lost myself a long time ago.

The winds carried her away and took her to sea.

I hadn’t seen her in a while.

Through the fog I could see her again.

Carried by a familiar figure.

It was you.

You brought myself back.

Breathed air into her lungs and love into her heart.

The color back to her cheeks when you said her name.

My name.

My name, my name.

You say my name and my face is set ablaze.

The feeling of loss ends here.

In this moment, here we are.

Here we are far and free.

I with you and you with me.

We can breathe.

The ocean roars quietly.

It shrinks and settles.

The lake, formerly the ocean, cannot take myself away.

We can look out upon the horizon of the water.

Where she was?

It’s no longer in sight.

She is me and I am here.

I am here and free and far.

I am not lost.

I am right where I want to be.
