Down With The Deep

I saw her face

To say I was young

Would be 

To call it fate

Love does not stop

At bumps in the road

It isn’t hindered by shut doors

It knocks, not with fright

But with a look of care

Sweat and tears

Made her river flow deep

But the depth is so sweet

I bathe in the sun

I soak in the water

My own was but a puddle

She left a shuffle

But I dug deep

Into the soil

To say I drowned

Would be but a saying

But with one so traveled 

I was safe to let it in

Love does not stop

At bumps in the road

It isn’t hindered by shut doors

It knocks, not with fright

But with a look of care

Though the ink speaks loud

Though mistakes are made

Lines crossed out

To never be re-written

With a grain of salt

That’s how we’ll flow

Down with the deep

That’s how we’ll go
