Below the Surface
No mercy of the billows appears on the surface:
it's brutal when looking at rock & sand
To know compassion we must go deeper
& discover currents far from land
In waters deeper than we've fathomed
& currents stronger than we've seen
we must learn the art of diving
& explore the depths of being
Bathe in the waters which gave you birth!
Be free of terra firma
& land-based notions of worth!
Cleanse yourself of terrestrial ideologies
& in waters which sparkled
long before humans emerged
find clarity
