Dive

August 5, 2014

Dive,

Into each word defining your soul,

like a never ending ocean of bliss emotion.

 

Deep,

Dive deep, into yourself,

like you are the pacific with unknown depths.

 

Deeper,

Dive deeper, into the pain,

until the root of all your hurt is staring in your face.

 

Deeper, and deeper

Dive deeper, and deeper,

into the vast chasm of love beneath your ribs,

until your breath is hard to catch.

 

Dive,

Into all you stand for,

as if diving is the furthest from falling.
