Regarding "Depths"

Depths,
Cleansing depths,
Healing depths,
And depths
Available
To all of us
If we can just
Hold long enough
Our breaths…
How deep
Can
We go,
How much do
We want to
Find for what we
Search,
How long,
How deep, no
Matter how
Much it helps when
It hurts…?

Down, down deep,
Into the depths I
Plunge, sounding for the
Bottom in fathoms
Dive to plumb.

Down, down deep,
The water courses
O’er me, in a protective
Rush of foam
Across my eternity.

Down, down deep,
My body points
In arrow flight, single
In its purpose, its
Object out of sight…
