NOTHING MUCH

If you think about it

Nothing much has changed

I’m still the same 

Drowning soul holding on

To the life line you sold me

Somehow, that first time

I managed to swim ashore

I paced the sand

Decided to find a path

Any path 
Leading away from open ocean

Away from the capriciousness

Of its winds    

But the earth is round

I walked, walked

Finally I looked up 

That's when I noticed 

I had returned
