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
