…deep inside of me

I hear your voice deep inside of me
the distance between us is but a dream
I long to fall into you, like the river seeking the sea
to melt into you and you into me, an endless merging
and you too will melt eternally, into the depths of me
inside the tumult of this storm the ripples rise and fall
and we are floating, endlessly lost in the underlying currents
but when we are falling together, we have gone beyond
beyond holding and releasing and beyond the things of dust and air
in this there is a stillness of lasting memory
and it fills us up, as we sink as one into the dark and lovely sea
