"Deeper Pools"

                                          “Deeper Pools”

In my heart and
In my mind are
Deeper pools.                           [The land of unending surfaces...\
Careful.
Don’t stir the surface
Not even a breath to shatter
The glass
Has broken before.

                                                I am the Great Searcher of Pools…

Don’t dive through
Or it’s darkened colours will
Sorrowful make your soul
And shade your eyes
Forever a somber hue.

                                                I am the       Searcher of Pools…

Such pools exist in my mind
And in my heart.                 [That combination that makes the soul…\
I’ve broken the surfaces of
Many and come up
A darker creature,
One wizened and bitter
With early disclosures.
A gollum among mirrors.

                                                I am           Searcher of Pools…
Others I have only
Sat and contemplated.
I dare not place a finger
On those.
Not yet.
For they are such deep pools,
Weighted and cloying,       [Their water sits unnaturally thick…\
Colours that die the
Fabric of souls.

                                                I am           Searcher of      …

But time is running out.
My soul’s waning.
What Truth will uncover
In these?
Will it satisfy the way
Certain knowledge does
Unwilling yet wanting ears?

                                                I am                    of      …

I sit on the Edge
And contemplate.
Eternity stares back. 

The silence is growing.
Loud.
At the point of shrieking
It is like some silent banshee

                                                I                       of      …

I stand up.

No breath.

I leap in.

                                                I am the Great Searcher of Pools.
