Where Does the World Begin

Inspired by a flight out of Phuket.

Where Does the World Begin

Let’s say for a moment you didn’t know
Where the sky ended and the water began

Where the water ends and the sky begins
What a ripple is if it’s the dark spot where the corals sit

Or the meaning of horizon if it even exists
No painted lanes or stripes on rectangles

Only vapor and shadows sailing above shoals
Would you know then the conditions for living

How everything we have we are borrowing
Sky and water and ripple and breath

Starfall cloudrise and all cycles till death
Where the world ends do we begin again

Where do we end and the rest of the world begin
