I happen to lock my heart
in a sea of love
I was not familiar with
nor was I accustomed to,
And while swimming against
torrential currents,
I landed on a raft.
I was not sure if
it were safety
or a figment of
my illusion.
Against my choices
the inflated raft
watched my soul
drown in dillusion.
The raft, half inflated
and half flat
was on the verge
of giving up
or extending my life
I finally landed
on a rock
I never called home,
more I explored
less I discovered
I kept thinking
maybe I could contain myself
and I continued to forget
I was not the only one,
until one day
I discovered the sea of love
and, I found myself alone.
Said Leghlid, 1997.
