November is half over and

They say
the grass grows
thick where a heart lands
where a soul spreads out into
deep fields that run up mountainsides

but in truth
all elevation
falls flat and still
next to you my secret
Ocean beneath
eternal Spring

Your waves pass deep and
wide
A morning's meditation 
a sleepy moon holding
weightless
as God

Whatever said...

but it's what we don't say,
what we can't say,
that keeps me up tonight.
Because if everything ends,
like this,
then what?
I'm watching
and listening
and feeling
and breathing
because I thought eternal bliss might be boring too.
God weighs heavy against the worth of my own soul
yet slips though my grasp like dust.

Beautiful... the first stanza is so very vivid to lead to the last - giving me a feeling of rising. Lovely. Absolutely lovely. :)
