The Calling
It calls to me
Resonates through my heart
It's always there
As a little girl
Catching ants
With hot, sticky hands
Chasing clouds
Across fields
Gazing
At sun crested hills
Through pock-marked car windows
Or older
Swimming in the sea
Topaz, pristine and breathtaking
Unlike the usual green and grey
Swarmed by fishes
Zebra stripes, exotic oranges
As they peck bread from my fingers
When I close my eyes,
I see it still
You get used to things
Practising smiles
Veiled poison
Necessities.
I can't see the stars from home
But it still hasn't given up
It beckons with sunsets
Gold dust and rubies
A sad love
It calls to me.
