Fish out of water
That which is beyond imagination and conception –
call It the Ocean of Love to get a handle on It.
I am drawn to the Ocean –
where there’s no friction;
no property, no boundaries or partitions.
I’m weary of the animal coming out,
in myself and others, barking,
snarling through bared teeth.
I’m ready for the flood
to leave us paddling about
until we exhaust ourselves
and sink to the bottom.
You, of course, were a Fish out of water, a Pisces,
showing us how to be Piscean –
moving through this here-and-now
Ocean of Love gracefully strong,
lithe, colorful,
eyes unblinking to the Truth,
going about Your business –
the silent expression of Who You are.
O child of God, the Beloved, closer than your breath,
invites you to drown in His Ocean of Love.
(from A Jewel in the Dust, 2011)
