still waters run deep~ deep waters run still

a north wind turns the water into icy brilliance

bitter truths churn at the shore

mind wanders to a memory of sunshine and stillness

my feet shriek as the waves baptize my thirsty soul

i am hungy for salvation

i am cresting within

the desert is no where in sight

miles of abundance surround me and still i cry

lonely as a seagull

wind whips curls and defiance into surrender

i stand strong and light as a feather

i am an ocean of emotion

i crave warm sand and pearly stones

i ebb into the formation of my wholeness

the coldness seeping into my bones

and there on the horizon a small vessel weaves its way home
