Inundation

Sometimes I fear

I will lose my hold on solid ground

The great wave of your love and tenderness

Will role in

With all the force and power of your soul

And almost destroy

The me I worked so hard to be

Content on my island

What is this feeling of fear

That quakes inside

As I feel the strength too

Of something deeper within me rising

Awakening and answering in response

To the tenderness you show

It is something I have never known before

And so today

If I feel as though I am standing on shaky ground

Could it be

That finally the tide has found me

I can no longer hold onto solid land

As I too have become the ocean

And the wave

No longer a part from others

But part of one sea

One ocean of love and loving

That connects us all
