The 365 Project Pt. II

i am standing in the middle
of yesterday surrounded
by water anchored and
ringing my bell i am a buoy

where are you
where did you go
i’ve put out seeds
to lure you back

how can you rise to meet
each wave rolling toward
you tethered to the
bottom please cut me free

i dreamt the water lapping
at the walls in my cellar was
my own personal ocean
i charted it searching for you

where are you
where did you go
a heart is broken
be a miracle
