Heather Secrest Poet Free verse

Lifeline

I'm floating 
In the darkness of space
I'm drifting
Away from the place
I spent all my lifetime
Only connected by
My lifeline 

There's a lifeline
Across space and time
Connecting
Everything that is mine
All the people in my past
All the people holding me fast
Reaching to the end of time 
My lifeline 

I'm slowly 
Drifting off into space
I'm longing 
For the rain on my face 
Back in the place I call my home
Back with the people I've always known 

There's a lifeline
Across space and time
Connecting
Everything that is mine
All the people in my past
All the people holding me fast
Reaching to the end of time 
My lifeline

I look back
At the place I came from
I wonder 
If it will always be home 
Or if I will find a place in the stars
Even though they seem so far
