In the Deepest Place

For the raindrop

Joy is joining the river

from the deepest place

love flows

like a spring

love flows

in the deepest place

who I am is found

and lost

in something bigger

in the deepest place

my starving soul

quivers

fixed on the scent of light

in the deepest place

I am fed

defined

nourished

and deeply connected 

to the One

I live

and breathe

and have my being

and being becomes

something through which i pass

differently

the shallow lands become transformed

all

is fed

by that deep spring
