Self Revealing

Calling out to that awe
the well within
filling

What was once a small drop
eroding soil into a bowl to fill
has become an underground river
Flowing

The ocean waits
with a presence and patience

More and more surfaces
Jewels revealed
They burst open like diamonds from coal
All that has covered my soul
Is being torn off me
like the garments of a man drowning in a frozen lake
pulled from underneath the thick ice

The heat radiates out from the burning sun
Breathing in a new capacity to hold its emanations as they warm me
Its cosmic rays
reach out
from the center
Into the infinite depths
