It’s there.
I can feel it,
I can have it
When I believe it.
So I close my eyes
And hold on fast
Because sometimes
Denial settles in.
But my faith is strong
And so the dark won’t
Last long,
As my love for love
rules them all.
Now I can see it.
Now I can taste it.
Love has always been inside me.
The icy winter melts into the
dawn of spring.
And now I can share
What my heart has to sing.

I jumped into
The deep end
Knowing the danger,
The risks involved.
But I was fearless
I had strength
Or mere foolishness…
Nevertheless
I jumped into
That pool
But the water
Was deeper
Than initially thought
And I realized
I was in an ocean.
I wanted to stay
Afloat
I wanted to get out
But seeing the shimmer
of buried treasure beneath
Made me go down
Wanting to explore.
And as I sink down
I lose more breath
That keeps me alive.
But it still shines down there
And my curiosity pulls me.
Finally I reach my destination
Of glimmering objects–
Is it really gold I see?
With closer inspection
I see broken shards of glass,
Aluminum cans, and twisted
Pieces of metal.
What is this–a landfill?
Now my body goes in shock
And it’s time to get out
Of the dark waters
And find refuge.
I’m swimming up fast,
So fast
I’m running out of oxygen
Yet I can almost see the light
That shines above.
Can I make it?
Will I survive?
I’m not sure but
I keep going.
