THE ABYSS

It never scares me 
to think of the pearl in its depth
then let go of everything 
welcome the descent 
discover on the way 
I am the pearl 
descending 
                        and let go 
                        of that 
                        too... 

so why be terrified 
to see someone else
do the same
 
            knowing 
            it's
            the only way
            to leave 
            and return
            renewed

Bon journee! 
my dear one 

remain
out of range
as long 
as you must 

then come back 
and write 
to me
                Paul Pines
