Beyond

Sailing our boat GEM in the Ambracian Gulf, Greece

Below the surface,
down below in the depths,
beyond the crashing waves
of superficiality,
is where I can breathe.

Above the surface,
floating in the ripples
of the burning light,
too bright to see clearly,
is where I drown.

Beyond the surface,
beyond the depths,
where darkness shines its own light,
where opposites unite,
is where I Am.
