I live in two worlds
separated by vast waters
~ half a lifetime in each ~
my heart shared
between
touchstones
.
Here on an island
wild and rugged
where I walk the beach
daily and traverse
forests to reach
home
.
There on an island
with my daughter
~ a windswept beach
and a bus ride home
to Zoom with my son
her brother
.
Our orbits
sometimes align
but mostly I am resigned
to drift happily between
two worlds
oceans apart
.

We are really a lot closer but still oceans apart, and tomorrow we can meet on the open link.

I have lived in two different worlds before, and it is a peculiar feeling. Great to feel at home in both though 🙂
