Leaving a Trail Back Home
Scanning the ocean’s horizons
Malcolm left in the middle of the night He never told his family where he was going He never told a single friend He simply vanished in the night without a trace
But that, of course, is impossible You cannot leave your reality without a trace for everything you do leaves a trace on the skein of time and space
Everything we do leaves a trail a scent we leave behind us our vibrations imprint our path our essence leaves a footprint
We can always be followed we can always be found we can never escape from where we touched the ground
With every breath we take we leave a trail even when the wind moves us with our sail
The ocean does not map our journey across the seas it is only our inward journey that shows our path’s degrees
Across the endless ocean we seem to leave behind our journey leading to ‘then’ and any notion of ‘when’
We follow the wind and we follow the waves the illusion of time does not slow our flow
Our flow follows our own time and the ocean becomes our clock as we scour the horizon for pieces of rock
Back when we were in vitro in water we floated all day It’s like coming home to Mama like coming home to stay
