The Depth

A Poem by Mike Defreitas

When We see
We see from the depth

The core

And essence
Primordial and Preexisting
Giving shape and meaning.

How can I say that I've felt the depth?
Without saying that the Depth
Has felt Me?

Tomorrows moments and today's nows
The depth drives me to deeper awareness
Flooded by the bliss of deeper meaning

Life goes on and on
And I love it
The depth stirs in me
And I
Can't Help
But feel
Split
minded

Amazed and Human
Aware of the depths
Awake to the facts
Of who I am In this
Social Reality.

Drawing others to the depths
I see and am gladly used
As a vessel for that purpose

Awakening humanity To take upon
Itself
The module of
Creation

Breaking through and
seeing in
Developing the mindfulness
To stay reality

To live in a body
To feel the full depth
Within it
Driving awareness
Of something

Quite

Outside it.
