Surrender

There is an ocean as deep as space
Yet shallow as your spirit

This ocean is as dark as night
Yet still more bright then Sirius

This ocean is as strong as words
Yet tender as a flower

I dive in
Swim
Surrender to its power

I can feel its warmth envelope my soul
It's terrifying
Comforting

…It can sense I'm wondering

This ocean has no sympathy
It feeds upon my misery

It will surely be the death of me
But first
It will set me free

This is beautiful, profound contrast. The depth of your words here is stunning. I could get lost for hours in the first two lines alone. You have a way with words that cuts right to the truth. I shouldn't be surprised. The beauty and wisdom of your words and the powerful thoughts they evoke are impressive.
