BEYOND DEEP

Broken into pieces,

too many to be put back together,

no more moisture left to produce any more tears,

feeling raw beyond time and space,

my pain is

beyond stars and planets,

beyond understanding,

even beyond deep,

and then without being asked to come in,

never voicing where it is from,

as if pleased with being in a place

so pure and open,

silently making itself known,

in it’s most subtle essence,

comes joy

blossoming from a seed

known only to the mystery of life.

Existing beyond rhyme and reason,

this blank slate of brilliance

comes carrying a gift,

a gift of the strength to be in two worlds,

as a world of infinite possibilities embraces

a world of pain never to be forgotten,

where only wisdom survives.
