The world, vast

Alone, explore

Consider a career

Crave connections

Pursue your person,

Praise your passion:

Try everything, you search

Your soul is floating, drifting, trying to climb from

the abyss, to reach the brightness of day, striving

to stretch, grow, elevate towards sunlight, summon

courage in the dark tunnel, soar to the Moon and

beyond, you search for meaning, search for truth,

search for something to grasp, hold, seize tightly

Eagerly you cling to anything which might give you

power, strength, security, which might hold you,

might protect you; Exploring your surroundings here,

everywhere, in a quest for clarity, purpose, love

Nothing seems to

catch, no foothold,

no grippy gloves,

no belay rope...

still alone

Still floating, you

seek in new ways,

drop your anchor

in immeasurably

deep water, swim

aimlessly for a

shore that could

Be anywhere or

n o w h e r e

But there is only

one Rock to catch

the rope you throw

one Lighthouse to

lead you safely home
