Cartographers of a Multiple's Universe

Setting boundaries, drawing lines, Mapping the geography of our multiples’ minds It’s undiscovered, familiar territory, A continent of islands And we’re exploring old new low lands, Uncovering new old high lands We’re a brilliant yet intimate, large group of strangers Who are migrating away from stark and harsh dangers, Together we’re questing safe places Where we can finally show our faces We’re regaining our sight Yearning toward the Light Abandoning the mal país we’ve always known, With which we’re too deeply acquainted – We must leave it behind, if we’re ever to find The way to become re-acquainted With who we are, and with our host – We’ve lived with her for years Time to bring her great joy and grace In place of bewildered, bewildering tears She’s been host to us, now, please, let’s host her? For as we return the favor, We’ll become cohesive, we’ll reunite – And that’s our only way to save her! Signed: Rebecca’s In-Dwellers 27 May, 2008

Very nice rhythm in this one, 'brilliant yet intimate large group of strangers who are migrating away from stark and harsh dangers' rolls very gently from each syllable to the next. If I'm reading this the right way, I think Mother Earth is the subject, our host whom we must host. Continent of islands.
