I Love You

May 27, 2021
These words don't suffice For the depths of their meaning So deep, an azure pool Sky blue at the top Navy in the middle And a pitch blackness Where no light can penetrate Save the thought of you! For true depth is darkness And true love is the Light that shines on In your mind when All else is dark. That beacon that carries You through darker moments, Lonely nights and terrible possibilities For even as we talk about The "depth" of something We rarely break down What "deep" represents. Like deep in the ground where Well-springs hold dark waters That once coaxed to the surface Brings thirst-quenching Life! Is the depth of my soul A dark place as well? It can't be For You are The Light at the center of my Spirit ¡My Love!
