Welcome

The Intensity of Diving Within

Longing

O’ It burns me deep

this  acid rain, yet my open arms welcome it with despair

It whispers to me

“Fear not, my young friend

for these clouds above,

they will protect you,

& the dew that falls will

wash away your doubts”

shaking with wonder I cried out;;;;;

“How sporadic these storms,

the ones that force grays to blend with blues

I shall not fear, for you are always near,

but will there ever come a day

when the warmth of my soul may

shine, no longer held at bay?”

The thick silence was the answer becoming known

I did what was right

Fell to my knees

Pressed forehead to soil

and admitted

intimately,

to myself,

“Oh my

the intensity

of

Diving

Within”
