Walking on Water


I'll be Virginia

And I'll go to

The Virgin Islands

Where Jesus stands

On the water

That I run on

As I sink

 

I'll be Virginia

And I'll go to

Zion

Where the dove

Meets the heavens

With an olive branch

As I submerge

 

I'll walk on the

Water, yes I'll

Walk into the

Tunnel, with a 

Dim lamp, and I'll

Be entranced

As I journey

The meditation

 

Yes, I journey

While I lay

Body stiff in

A dark tank,

Reaching for 

An arm to grab

Me as I'm pulled 

Into a dark ocean

Where I drown

As I lie
