Anywhere But Here 

 

Like mist-filled nights on the rocky seashore

my thoughts wander away, then back to me.

They collect in pools my heart scarce can afford

where wave upon wave my sorrows appease.

 

No lighthouse can guide the lonely towards home

nor heavenly stars illumine the sands.

For those dazed by the fogs and left alone

have distant memories of love’s sweet hands.

 

Yet somehow from this shadow we emerge

to regain life in the monthly moon tides.

For when day breaks, many waves gently surge

then love calls and the lost souls will arise.

 

I am without light.  I am without tears.

I am without love, anywhere but here.
