my eyes wander of their own accord
and see so much
depth
infinite patterns
of behavior and light.
they confuse my mind with their
simplistic redundancy
and my hair gets in the way
and I wish my face would melt away.
these mountains of my pain are
insurmountable,
so I tunnel
beneath their massive peaks
until
their weight buries me sad
and I would hope you’d dig me out
but I despair of anyone rescuing me
and tears form under my dusty eyes
and streams flow down my face
and lakes collect at my feet
and the rivers roll away
into
the darkness
and I’m carried on down them
to the
oceans of my living.
placid and blue do they stretch
out
with so much
depth
infinite patterns
of shimmering ripples.
I
dive
into
them
and as I peacefully
drown I throw this
order into chaotic harmony.
beneath the surface I swim
looking for bliss.
miles to
the
ocean
floor I fall
with my heart all fire
and there I find…
you riding on the back of a whale.
your lithe fingers sewing quickly
with so much depth,
infinite patterns
of rainbow thread send my mind
spinning into boundless comprehension.
I lose my grip on reality and
fall into your life and
I
fall into your heart and
I
fall into love.
And reality has returned but it is so
strange to me.
