Look Deep
Gently i dip my toe into the water
running down the street
cascading past the red roofed houses
glistening with tears
lost forever
cherry blossom falls through
moonlight catching its path
downwards settling on the ledges
of hopes and desires below
i bow low not knowing the meaning
but holding myself tight with expectation and love
whirling images of
scarlet and blue
bright in my mind
jangling with thoughts and justifications
willing these ideas and dreams
that once would have failed
now only need that elbow push
to succeed
then i will be true to my heart
i will look deep
into cracks and crevasses
flint stone and smokey glass
to find strength and power
that i know is there
i will lay myself bare
here my soul is naked before you
look i tell you
look hard and in the deep dark mucky depths
you will find the seeds waiting
germs in a heartbeat
unfurling slowly
reaching out
soon they will manifest into
a shining halo of success.
