Long at Sea
Long at Sea
by em claire
I left my home so long ago now
that I would not recognize my own face.
I constructed the Boat of My Life
and I set out
into the open sea,
waving to all who knew
that the seas would give me
everything I could handle
and everything I could not.
And yet they waved, and I set out
into the open sea
in the Boat of My Life:
built from Soul, crafted by Heart,
and with great innocence I pushed off
into the open sea
and have been away from my home
so long now that I would not recognize my own face
but I know that Home,
Home
remembers me.
From Silent Sacred Holy Deepening Heart
