Lost, awash in alabaster
As sirens sing their songs of worship
Horizons stretch beyond illusion
Nothing there to comprehend
Emotions crash like ocean waves
Sweeping, snatching all in vain
Scents and colors swirl, majestic
Senses fail to set the scene
Overwhelming, overloading
Beauty in such ordered chaos
Beyond all human understanding
And yet here I stand, surrounded
Surrendered to a lack of surety
Drowned in evidence none yet know
And yet that knowledge, all I’m seeking
Is all around and deep within
Senses fail, focus is fleeting
Sinking quickly in the mire
The undertow is strong and sudden
The surface beckons somewhere beyond
Too much to take at moment’s notice
It pulls me down and holds me tight
Weightless as it winds and wanders
Lost, I find myself again
