Behold the rapid torrent that is my soul, unleashed like the rivers cresting shallow banks.
Once opened, no levee or sandbag can hold back the longing and fierce light that penetrates my inner darkness.

Once released is it even possible to recapture and imprison a force of nature so great?
For I could……I could pretend this awakening never happened and keep dreaming of streams and babbling brooks…such delusion now seems so tempting as those waters are calm and wading easy…and how I bathed in their numbing waters for so long….

But to feel! Oh Lord to feel your heart and body beat with the rhythm of mine like two perfect waves crashing in time. To have that inner darkness shed and show you my world through my once blind eyes…. To see the world through the new light cast by your Love, enhanced by your being…

No…. No I can not, my Embracing and Rejuvenating Downpour…

The river has shed its banks, flooded its plains, engulfed its valley and drowned the lands surrounding its meager bed. For a river no more, an Ocean is born….the sun eternally setting on those waves crashing upon new beachheads…creating new Shores for us to dwell…
