When I want to grapple with infinity
I go to the ocean
And imagine an endless sea
Of unfathomable depth
Beneath a boundless sky
I go to the ocean
And imagine an endless sea
Of unfathomable depth
Beneath a boundless sky
Insights and memories and loved ones come
But cannot fill the emptiness
A loss of self
Nearly as profound
As the loss of another
When rock flowed as liquid
And the only solid lands
Were granite rafts
Floating on a molten orb
Artist and creator
Of worlds fantastic
And unimagined
By lesser gifts, as mine
Crisp and cold
The night air
Sounds, sharp and clear
Amplifying presence
How crazy it is
This point of consciousness
Travelling through space and time
On a ship of meat and bone
I flow through lives
Passion and presence
Broken love
Leaving trails
