Finding the Deep

When the needle pricks your finger.

When you hide under the covers.

When you look under the bed.

When you go down into the basement.

 

When you dig up the root in the yard.

When you lay someone to rest.

When you drill to find water.

When you mine for gold.

 

When the sink hole collapses.

When you drop deep inside Krubera.

When Earth cracks in two and you reach the core and find

                                                 - Love

That’s how deep I love you; you are the life in my depth

The most unusual love poem but one which has interesting content. The final line is staggeringly beautiful.
Thank you for this
Keith
