The Tide

In underground caverns

explanation

brooks no comfort


Deep Water

is not entered

The Sea

Certainty

reaches

no further



this sea

is too deep

Along This Shore

You discover

that silence
no longer feels empty

questions

remain open
without demand
for answers

You begin

measuring days
differently

the ordinary

begins revealing
unexpected depth

you linger

before answering

A lantern for the crossing

The next faithful breath
is given
before it is needed
