lost and found

I ran circles round a place I called home
Built bridges and laid foundations.
I ran circles round sandy dunes and lost my way...
The wind too strong,
My steps too light.
I sought broken pieces of time
Of sanity.
I sought love
I sought light
I found instead scattered pieces of my peace of mind.
I found instead renewed strength...
I found instead stability and devotion.
..I left my heart on the shifting dunes,
Imprinted and raw on the wet shores.
No longer longing to be loved
No longer needing to belong.
I left my heart beating on the shifting dunes
And carried the waves and sunlight home instead.
