What place is this
Where I find myself
struggling to become
who I want to be.
Is this place in space?
Is it somewhere
in one of the other worlds
trying to connect with this place
where I have looked for myself
and found nothing?
The only real place
is found in love.
If in my struggles
I can’t find the light of love
then I cannot know
what place this is.
Love is the only possibility.
