There was once a sea...

I close my eyes and I see
what was once me.
And is no more now.
I was here on this spot, 
I had laid down the bedrock 
of my soul's journey.
I took an oath to serve and protect
the less fortunate, my brothers.
And I did. I traveled light.
So I return empty handed,
but heart and soul are whole.
I come full circle.
Something shifted the stone 
farther down the path:
It must have been the strong
currents of a sea that once 
existed in this forsaken land:
Its does not matter now.
Home is all the space there is.
