Point Nemo

 


It's hard to know what brought me here –
yearning to be far from reach.

Do not try to reach me.

My desire is not to regain the shore.  It's not in finding land that I'll be saved.

I choose to stay at sea ...
lost ... but saved
by the vast blue horizon that calms my soul.

Do not try to reach me.

Note:  the place on Earth furthest from land is called "Point Nemo" or "the oceanic pole of inaccessibility".
