I saw a picture of a place that I’d never been.
I began writing down word after word and it led me to you.

There are beautiful landscapes, sunrises and coastlines, and then there is you.

You’re the person I’ve never known, you’re far off in the distance and traveling too fast for me to catch.

You’re home is the horizon and you know the suns name. You’ve been everywhere and you’re still searching for something worth settling on.

You’re shamelessly reclusive and helplessly alone and I’ll never know you.

I’ll be here in a grey city where the sky cries more than it smiles. I’ll be happy knowing I’m that I’m lost like you but not too delusional to see it.

I know a place where the walk is overrun by weeds and the buildings are replaced by towering trees. The hum of the city is lost in the gusts of wind. Streetlights are stars and roadways are rushing rivers. I’ve found a place to make peace.
