only one direction

I dug

I dug so deep I missed the gold

I dug deeper and saw the earth unfold

I dug to the deepest and found life’s mold.

I lost

I lost the shovel and dug with my hand

I lost the horizon from where I stand

I lost my country but I found new land. 

I see

I see where the sea kisses the sky

I see your lips and where the truth lies

I see the end and will still not cry

I stand

I stand with you but walk alone

When you arrive I’ll be long gone

If you look for me you’ll find me home.
