THE DEEP

I watch lakes
rivers and the ocean
the surfaces are always different
always the same - light (of god)
sparkles in the waves
and
grey waves
in the clouds reflecting

In my childhood
I feared the deep
so very low -
composing the deep
in the winter of my life
was made me comfortable
with the low -

The deep,
the rumbling of Melville and
the white great whale.
