somebody's dungeon

I remember thinking
each and every time
I saw the silly little sign,
I'm not here at all.

At times amid the buildings tall
or high upon a mountain top
where breath would stop...
take in the sight of Godly wonder.

To me it seemed a kind of blunder
an assumption by one I'd never met,
one who's blind,
      uninformed as yet,
to the whereabouts of me.

Someone that surely could not see
so how is it that they knew?

How could they see that you,
were distant and aloof,
   the map maker must have goofed.

You are here, indeed!

I was travelling out of need,

and

I was never really there.
