Where It All Once Began Poem by Mark Heathcote

Navigating your tears, I make oceans out of despair.
Out of despair? I evaporate mysteriously into thin air.
I've somehow arrived at an oasis, thirsty but still alive.
I've wandered barefoot and chanced upon a cave.
There's a trickle of water - that's made a lake to swim in.
So I dive right in and drown, foaming at the mouth.
Kissed in the darkness, submerged at the entrance
My journey has ended where it all once began.
Death nourishes liberty; such is love; such is life, amen.
