I came out of the water fresh and baptised,
A new man with a new name and a new pair of eyes;
I gave myself to you like a bird to migration -
On the wing, my new skin shining sun gold corona,
I crossed over the ocean to a new land.
Over frozen Atlantic and still waves of ice
Our plane travels westward with night.
Land cut by rivers lies outstretched beneath
These sleek wings that slice through the sky.
With sleepy eyes half closed I fly
Carried between real life and dreams;
Is this the call I was listening for,
The god that reaches me?
We glide with the weight of the world
Far below us, lost beneath cloud.
Airborne, a home in-between,
Where we were and where we will be.
Circling to land, the earth takes my feet
And we head out to the street...
