Bleak waters wink from below
Reminding me how little I know
Of how deep I have to fall
I'm looking for lightening
And realizing I don't mind
The absence of a gentle sun
My bow dives but the stern holds
Even in the ocean spray I feel
Feel my own salty fear
I promise I'm not sinking yet
I'm only flirting with a sense of falling
Even as tempest-torn seas threaten
Waves strong enough to tempt me
To stop fighting back
And let me be overcome
By a mystery so beautifully beyond me
