I know there is
That runs deep and still
No crests of waves
Or undertows
No rising tides
Or weary lows
Just icy blackness
Flowing
Without a destination
And yet—somehow
A knowing
A knowing how to flow
If only I could swim amongst
The blind and colorless creatures
Who seem to know the secret
Of thriving in the dark
But here I sit
Above ground
In a world of constant striving
Endless pain and fear
Times of peace
So very rare
Diving deep within
I try to go beyond, beneath
Desperately
I try to reach
What only the stillness
Can teach
Love elephant and want to go steady?
