“An ecstasy is a thing that will not go into words; it feels like music.” Mark Twain
Like A Wave
The water once gathered from the sky,
heaven’s bold gift
a recess of your mind
your dark iris hears, sees, and
tells a tale of something known
in the very core of that secret place,
turning, writhing, resisting,
as the piper plays
tunes move through you,
a smooth melolagnia,
your hairs stand
rippling, like a wave
as you soak deep
the abiding presence
washing over,
now spent
as night.

It’s your words that capture me in this poem, Paul – “recess”, “dark”, “secret”, “night” – they draw me into a hidden place, and unknown both frightening and yet fertile.
