Lost to the Land
A piece of me was lost today
in the desert of the ordinary,
mixed into the amorphous earth.
I scrambled amid the sand,
grains of the rough, grinding
grains running through my fingers,
struggling to slip out of my grasp.
And as I lied on my hands and knees,
digging through the recesses
of the world I hold dear to me,
instead of finding what has been lost,
I discovered something new;
a realization.
The recognition that
I never lost anything,
simply a symbol of what
is still out there,
waiting for me.
So I will let you go,
emblem of my heart,
among the swirling oceans
of the commonplace
and focus rather on
riding the waves
that will reunite me
with the extraordinary
that has left its mark
on my heart.
