Analysis of In the Deep
As i look
over the river valley.
An inner voice calling,
inspiring something yet unseen
a depth perception
carries me beyond.
As senses fly
over faraway hills,
fields, forests deep,
seasonal fireflies
signaling,
a pursuit of sorts,
cohorts looking
for survival
of generations
extended
or life is lost.
This means
to an end
is not for sport
pretend
As if to portray
mirror echoes of the stars
A group of deer,
cautiously appear
at forest edge,
before cautiously
wading across
a moonlit stream.
Far beyond the universe
beyond we can see
Jupiter and Mars.
A spark of love
between you
i
Blossoms
in our hearts
whenever thoughts of your presence
come to mind,
as reflections of loves attraction
echo through our every interaction
Project my teardrops
focused with intent.
When i cannot be there,
though knowing that you got this,
when we meet.
Attraction,
too strong to resist
take hold,
we embrace
through the space
between us,
sealed with a kiss...
As i whisper
the sweet question
which piques
your interest
speaks to me
of honorable intentions.
Looking back to creation
Reaching
the elemental connection
In the spirit pool
with loyalty and affection,
Reinforced
we speak as one voice,
though Life
can be full of ill effects...
Still, more unpleasant surprises
add new dimensions To our lives.
Raising children,
through the hell
of Infinitively varied definitions
of challenges.
Like winters fiery blast
with frost and gale in tow,
killing winds,
icy chill
closing fast
with nowhere left
Now time to launch
into the wind.
Rewind the clock.
Break all the locks.
Redesign the process,
From the bottom,
back ...to the top
Extend your will,
beyond the horizon,
we who are sons
and daughters
of the sun.
We who must
throughout existence,
keep moving on
crossing time
space
throughout eternity
in motion
Between
the star fields,
swept across
the universe
of you and i
keeping faith
in one another
or in failure
to do so,
written in blood
and sand
sung by
wind and trees,
swept over
oceans
of those
who’d never
would sell
one’s soul
even if they fall
in battle,
die
and their bones
Lost to the bottom
of the deep
rolling with the tides
unto forever
to a point
between the stars
As revolving galaxies
sparkle in reply
With freedom
which never dies.
In answer, from
the deep
