You Never Left
Corridors and brick walls
They could never rock me
Only you
Bitumen, epoxy
They could never hold me
Only you
But we
We float away
Over trees
And the Alaskan wilderness
We
We feel the soil
Soft underfoot
Rubber wheels can't move me
Bars of steel won't break me
Only you
And although they've got me
They will never have me
Only you
But we
We sail away
In lagoons of the Indian river systems
And we wade into salty waves
Of the Atlantic Ocean
I will capture sunsets
Darkness will not blind me
Only you
And your arms will warm me
Like you never left me.
I will not look behind.
