UNDERSTOOD
I lit a light
To find the sun
But it was night
I swum to find the ocean
I searched for me
And found me where I stood
I searched for love
It was the earth
Under where we stood
I searched for love
And found it in this
Verse
To find the sun
But it was night
I swum to find the ocean
I searched for me
And found me where I stood
I searched for love
It was the earth
Under where we stood
I searched for love
And found it in this

I've been loving myself every since
I can remember,
but this is very beautiful my whale

like Emily Dickinson, out with lanterns looking for herself.
find love in poetry; find poetry in love...
find love in poetry; find poetry in love...

Lol 😂Feel like her right now to John - stuck in a hotel room in central Africa and unable to go anywhere for a few days
Edit:
Now found the poem - not quite what I was trying to say but very fine words from ED
The poets light but lamps
Themselves - go out
The Wicks they stimulate
If vital light
Inhere as do the suns

Profound and beautiful. I love especially where you say,
I searched for me
And found me where I stood
True wisdom

If this is not life in a capsule
What is?
"I searched for me
And found me where I stood"
(Can't decide if this or the first was my best. I'd stick with this)
A gem. Truly
Thank you.
