/ in too deep /

swept from shore to sea
into an impervious vastness
sprayed with distant foams
from sea pasts, and
twisted by the tantalizing
torrents of something bigger,
than i, and you, shoreside
i watch while sinking slowly
to the depths of an airless abyss

of resonant silence
deafening me
patiently poised below
on the branch of a forever tree,
where i saw there
a translucent radiance shoot
brilliantly colored spears
piercing, then escaping the deep
through fissures in lonely clouds
then back, again stabbing into
my watery soul

immersed without reason, submerged 
into a lighted darkness where
i'm blinded by a feeling
i then surface to the commotion
of uncontrollable crests, from
unfathomable depths of dream time
marred by my own fearlessness
floating, too, in my mind's ocean
only to have my intended eloquence
crash to the shores of my tongue,
and be washed away 

my shallow breath and voice
torn from the air, swirling
into enigmatic declarations
of persistent admiration that,
carried by a salty wind
go unheard, unseen
threads of emotion
pulled singularly until
i, too, am the sea
spanning infinite shores,
i liquidly kiss the earth
onto which i'm thrown
you've gone, now i'm
seeping through the sand
that i might feel you again
