Where Is My Soul?
I am alone at the sea.
Bound by the wind.
I only go where it flows.
I've only been where it's been.
I am transferred to the desert.
Sit on top of sandy dunes.
The sun scorches my skin.
Drying up my tears of ruin.
I am blown to the far east.
I meditate in Shinto shrines.
I lay flat on rice farms.
And dine with me and I.
l am gusted to Antartica.
I see only one color.
I feel only numb.
Maybe this way is better.
But the pretending must stop.
The lies I tell myself must die down.
I urge my body to wake up.
But my soul cannot be found.
But my soul cannot be found.
