ramblings

deep water

The deep water calls to them

The lost, worried travelers

It calls them into her depth

She gives them new hope at a better future

So they yearn to come to call

Back to the deep water once again

I am a weary, lost traveler

That uses her, the deep water

For reflection on my times

And many troubles

I depend upon the deep water

To always be there when I come to call

I depend upon the deep water

To show me that the most wild things

Can be calm in a storm

The deep water show me that beauty

Like all precious things

Can turn deadly in the wrong hands

The deep water reminds me that while times may pass

That there will always be a constant

Something to look back on

Something that brings me light

The deep water has shown me that looks are deceiving

That not all beauty is pure

And that beauty is not skin deep

She reminds me that not everything is for keeps

That time can take what we hold close

The water has shown me that rage is disastrous

That things we say can take time to heal

Although my time at the deep water has passed

I know that she waits for me to return

And other lost travelers to

It is part of the tedious cycle we call life

To bring us back to her again

If our lives may permit it

The deep water can be a voice for us all

A gentle reminder of loves gone and passed

Or a fierce truth that you need to let go

I am a lost traveler myself

And like many before me I have used her depths

To drag me out of my own

She is open for all dreamers,

Learners, believers

Those that want

But don't yet know truth

She waits for us all

The deep water lies in wait

For the day she can bring us all peace

The deep water can be a place for us all

To unfold our lives

And be a source of light

The deep water can lead us through

If only we follow right behind

And recognize that we are in need of the deep water
