This decade has held me with its iron claw
and crushed all I thought I knew.
Time has taken me beyond realms I can reach,
hollowed me out and shut me up tight
without my interpreter, the wind.
 
With predictable movements I come and go
striving to live, to love as I did so easily then,
before the shining burning moment of you.
But it’s as if I am trapped inside the belly
of a giant machine and there is no room
for hope and there are no suns.

Deep in my bones I feel the call to freedom,
but all ways are blocked to me.
In small spaces I create soul movements
fueled by memory, but they lead me
only to the edges of time that binds.
I close my eyes and find eternity
where we will find each other.
There I find my peace.
There I am free.
There I am as
I have been -
yours.
