Here and Hereafter


You’re looking for connection
in a cosmic sense,
like a lost lover in a story,
a lost father actually,
seeking his daughter
across oceans, across skies

It’s archetypal
and it opens up the portals
into other worlds —
your longing has already
crossed the bridge
so you can’t live easy here

Can’t confine yourself,
have to accept that you’ve expanded,
have to learn to move and feel
in the world where she is,
must be reunited
in the larger sphere.
