.
Come swim within this restless silence
the raging river deep within beckons
the cadences we hear
are the heart's untamed waters overflowing ,
eroding this heart's shorelines ,
leaving the thrummed edges wild
prevailing currents swelling ,
no longer able to be contained
within the soul’s boundless margins
impatiently lost and lovely ,
faithfully dangerous
I’ll be your ocean and you my sky--
feel the calming tide
flood in around us ?
I've been swimming in circles ,
treading water
in an eddy of revolving reverie
waiting for the world to turn ;
fighting to release the swirling currents
meandering through
the shadowed places so deep within
how does it feel to be the sky
that bestows ocean's light ?
how does it feel to be constantly on my mind ?
... what a beautiful piece of heartache
