The Sea of Immeasurable Loss

Who knows how long I've stood here

Or how many times

I may wander, but I will return

The same time each night

For running water plays the score to this scene

I stand and stare into the mirror

This has become so familiar to me

Because I no longer rest where I used to sleep

A handful of water to cool your face

Will be the only comfort you'll know

So pick up your heart and run for your life

To drain your body of all it's energy

For heavy steps on a quiet path

Is the sound of earning your rest

Try to sleep

On the other side of the room

Forget all the time you have lost

For it's the insight that kills you

This night will end

Only to begin again

And nothing will change until the change of the seasons

Many months away

The night is long

Exhausted I make my way home

As the earliest of those begin their day

I finally begin to sleep

This strain that resolves in me

Truly has come at a cost

For the rain, that falls on me

Was drawn, from the sea of immeasurable loss
