I am falling into
a blue hole in my soul
full of the sea
descending
this emotional deepscape
so far under my knowing
makes of me a wanderer --
a discoverer --
of my abyssal, hidden soulsea
thus it is, to be untethered
falling to magical
places
where deepwater hot springs
bloom
falling into deep water
where grow corals
and vent animals
odd, rare species
unknown to me
the soul pressure ---
intense
the soulwater ---
murky and warm
the soul life ---
lit from within
