what I can see from here

October 4, 2009

what I can see from here

it’s a familiar domain,

this expansive view,

with a similar terrain

to what I once knew.

I think that I thought

that it seemed I was home.

so what is this now,

this strange new land,

that I somehow know

like the back of my hand?

the sky, diamond hard;

night gleams with the stars.

the trees are dark, empty,

but with soft summer air;

an october breeze sifts

through my fingers, through my hair.

what a changeling dream,

but what does this mean?

where am I now?

I’ve been lost here so long.

but can I find myself

before I’m too far gone?
