Lake/Ocean - Mirah

The lake was big as an ocean

An ocean of my fears

The mountains rise clouds in my eyes

And I brought myself out here to heal

Hear the hum of hummingbird wings

The call of everything

My heart’s elephant sized with love of life

But in the dark it’s too loud loud loud loud loud

In the day I’m fine to be floating the line

Above and below the water

The shallow dive is no less a try

To see underneath you don’t have to go deep

When the water’s this clear

If you look down once you could fall through

But that’s not what I want to do

That’s not what I want to do

Every day becomes night sure as rain is right

That’s when I want you here

When the sky eats up all of the light

I want that to feel blanket-like

But my bare-eyed view only lets through

A few thousand pinpricks whispering blue

While the rest of the black takes me all the way back

With the space echo hum of the universe drums

In a vacuum void of any dreams I’ve dreamed

I can’t lay myself down under this feeling

I stare and stare and wait for things

With the goldenrod and the pines and rocks
