It is chaos

Darkness tumbling

Existence through the void

And a single voice

Carries the melody

Of the only song that matters

Our arid hearts

Cannot whisper bliss

In the face of nothingness

All sharp edges and precipices

And danger as we wander blindly

And the water remembers

Every tear

Every joyful murmur

Rippling into diamond drops

And the pitch blackness

Gains a starry cast

As the memory of water

Lights the darkness

Promising solace

And a soft sinking

Away from harm ~ Caroline A. Slee
