Walking the Desert

I was walking in the desert
with no light to see
no star to guide me
and no place to be.

I was thinking lonely thoughts
of the way it's supposed to be
of ways it did not work out
and the memories of thee.

I was climbing all the mountains
stood on the highest crests
fell down the deepest gaps
and earth broke my fall at best.

I was swimming in the ocean
cutting the waves of sea
with sharks all around me
eating the heart out of me.

I was washed ashore one day
found myself at home
found the place I cared for
to mend by broken bone.
