Streaming thoughts invade my mind
Unbidden
Unforgiving
Desired
Memories
Emotions
Dreams
Wandering through space and time
Do you still believe
Skipping like a stone
Across the energies of your life
Will prevent your eventual decent
Into dark waters below?
Ride with me, my dear;
I know the ebbs-and-flows,
Embrace the currents, cool and warm
That drop and rise; they are part of me,
Part of you, part of us
That keep us safe:
For shallow fish are not immune to
Eagles’ talons
Sharks’ teeth
Bears’ claws
Man’s nets
And light may draw them near
Oceans of Mine
