Deep calls unto Deep
I weep on the steep banks of a ravine
Overlooking the scene of a surging, torrent waterfall
Beating on drums in my ears, globs of tears
Flow from the churning ointment in my chest
People surround the glass shores of its pools
Reposing in the sun, dipping chubby toes in pure waters
Wading to their ankles with plodding feet
Soak like a bath of Epsom salt, a hypnotically somnambulant picture of life
The surface is still, but my passion kills complacency
I am thirsty, weary, bursting nearly to the threshold of solid, gas, and liquid interface
Collision of three worlds
Firm, impenetrable and supporting,
Weightless vapor, tasteless, thin, light, and unable to be grasped
Flowing slippery soft clothing, cool, wet, and refreshing
I am drinking in the third world of matter
Falling on my knees as face meets pleasing draughts, laughter bubbling
Washing my briared throat, filling the moat around my heart castle
Deep calls unto Deep
Asleep to the heap of curious, fat stares
Gazing from comfortable chairs on my thin, lithe body
Beating of drums from my inner kingdom
Yearns for more water, hotter the potter’s hands on tottering clay
Who cares what they say!
I rush to the fray and leap, for a moment suspended in flight until…
Plunging like a released arrow into the heart of the pool
Piercing into depths, my breath is failing
Expiring as sweet moisture presses in my flaring nostrils
My eyes are wide with terror…and joy!
Open to this new universe of wonder
Legs kick, arms flail, straight for the boiling center
The pounding pulse from above, love from the heavens
Pins me on the bottom, purging hard billows
Urging release of my densely layered onion
I am undone, blunt hammers, tenderizing clamor on my soul
I want the whole deal
Peel me open, water
Gush into my castle walls
Fall my vulnerability to your delight
I cannot be content tonight under thin sheets of rest
Returning from this blessed place, pulse racing through dream mountains
Deep calls unto Deep
Creeping to peep out my window glass
Floating the walls I pass through matter boundaries that held me before
Soaring into liquid skies, my disguise is gone.
Fly under Your love waterfall pounding, resounding my resonant frequency
Decency is lost in sea waves
Unreason waves goodbye to standard days
I cannot stay away, pray, play, lay to rest my hunger
Growing younger, more childlike and eager
Grow the size of Your faucet
Pour the star brightness
Cause it to fill my receptacle
A spectacle of transformation into a deep sea creature
Reach your unmeasured, pressured heights and length and width and depths
You are heaving in my chest
Walls of my heart have fallen, ruins
I am Your meadow
Run through me
You are free without gates, every locked place is open
Delve in this swamp,
Stagnant water become a fresh spring fountain that swirls and furls
Beating streams, redeemed and united with your heart’s cry
As Deep calls unto Deep.
