Distances

This is the land of vast distances

Between deity and devotee
Language and prayer
Aspiration and arrival
This is the land of the lost
Those who have no roots
Forgotten where they are from
Named by others and called names
Yet this land is now coming to itself
For the earth and sea
Are now giving up their dead
Who tell the truth to their heirs
Of how the distances came to be.
