Into the Abyss - Poem
Taken by the tide
into the abyss
I abide
Slowly slipping
from the sand
letting go
of the “knowns” hand
will I fall into the depth?
be pulled apart
by every wave
scrambling for breath?
will I let it take me into
my own deep waters
beyond the world
beyond me
beyond you
Taken by the tide
into the abyss
I abide
Letting the waters
guide me through
every challenge
I’m put into
I surrender to the tug and tow
with every beach
that is shown
learning over and over
to let go
diving deeper
into the unknown
Taken by the tide
into the abyss
I abide
The water crawls
into my eyes
to awake once more
what was once blind
to pull the vail
and let me see
the beauty of life’s
mystery
Taken by the tide
into the abyss
I abide
I am the depths
of my own waters
the tide that
pulls me apart
I am the waters
that open my eyes
the shores that
kiss the sky
I am the waves
that guide me through
the tide
that takes me to
the unknown space
in me
in you
I’ll let it be my alter
I’ll bow, prey, and sing
I’ll let reverence be my actions
and devotion be my queen
I’ll let silence be my keeper
and love be my lead
I’ll let you stand beside me
and hold you as my king
Taken by the tide
into the abyss
I abide
