I Am Not Here

I Am Not Here

i am not here
pulled from a heaven
by the sound of fear
i am not here
but you may find me
a ghost always near
i am not the earth
nor its sand
i am not the sky
or the hallowed land
i am not here
but you may find me
somehow near
with glass skies
and wind swept sand dunes
across a desert beach
i am not here
but I am within reach
my ghost,
on its presence you can feast
i am not here
