Deep Sea

More than the eyes can see

Pulsing

Pulsing

pulsating

Rhythm

beat

breathing

heart

meet

harmony

feet

feet in the sand

toes digging in

in deeper

sinking in

into the ocean

swimming in

into the deep end

the deep sea

seeing more than the eye can see

seeing me

in the reflection

of the sea

knowing me

knowing me to be

of the sea

i am

the sea

deep and knowing

deep and flowing

flowing energy

energy of the free

energy that courses deep beneath the sand

pulsating like a heart

a heartbeat in the ocean

deep beneath the sea

so deep you can no longer see

not with your eyes

but with your feet

feet on the bottom of the ocean

the ocean floor

where darkness feels like a knock on the door

a knock that awakens more

more than the eyes can see

where the third eye opens and pulses

it pulsates

in the middle of your forehead

it wriggles free from the chrysalis

and now

now you can see

you can see in the deep dark bottom of the sea

the colors are vibrant

you thought there was not life and

you thought you couldn't survive and

i thought it too

but it's my third eye

it shows me more than the light can

it shows me more than my eyes can

it radiates with life and

it pulsates

it's pulsing

pulsing

pulsing

again.

    It is difficult for someone to enter a true flow of writing that is spontaneous, effortless, and natural, with rhythm, melody, and harmony. Here, you achieved it, and I feel different worlds touching me, merging into one, and taking me on unlimited journeys. I truly enjoyed it, and in the end, my cheeks and eyebrows were quivering. Bravo to you.

    I love how the poem shifts from the physical deep to the spiritual deep. The third eye imagery is stunning.
