With but a touch upon the gate, a waterfall comes forth And all that stores within the vessel empties These winds that hurricane inside to velvet stillness Black and soft And I am not afraid of the welling that comes forth Released these deep and simmering sounds For I scramble to the core of you and harbor there Warm and pink I cannot touch the bottom or the end, or stop the surge There is no control of this or you or what grows hot And there is no other that can fill or empty me Blue and still Another day to rest this soul, and I will swim in waters warm And think in terms of night and sleep contented in the bubbles These winds to breezes cool in sun upon the beach Gold and clear Copyright Kkh 12/28/02 |
