The Deep

Prompted by a writing exercise this morning using 3 key words: underneath, current, and burning. The prompt was to begin: "I Speak for...."

THE DEEP

I speak for
What dwells underneath
Surface waves of chatter

Yearning, burning
To dive below the noise
And swim the current of stillness

To merge with the waters
of mercy and love
Forever coursing through our veins

I speak for
Those whose words are lost
Voices silenced long ago

I speak, I shriek
Guide us back
To the womb of The Deep
