…welcome to the maldives

…i can smell the waters-

i am greeted-

“welcome to the maldives”, they say-

my gifts have found the world-

and the world has embraced them-

warm waves applaud my toes-

i have become my children’s hero-

the nothingness has fallen and left with the sea-

so why can’t this be abba-

why don’t you see me abba-

you asked for days that i sit and write-

that every language would become of it abba-

thus the messenger was written-

i listened abba-

remember, …I listened-

so where are my waters-

where are my waves, sweet abba-

where is the sea to carry the nothingness so my daughter can call-

my soul knows you are enough-

but my mind is full abba-

two holes in the wall-

two holes in the wall-

three doors missing-

more holes in the walls-

my mind is so full abba-

i can feel the angels that you send-

thank you-

but please let me smell the waters-

please let me be greeted-

let the maldives welcome me abba-

because my gifts have found the world, and they’ve embraced them-

and ive become my children’s hero-

and i become my children’s hero-

and ive become my own-

and

i

become

my

own.
