In This Decade: Deep Calls to Deep

The purposes of a man's heart are deep waters
but a man of understanding draws them out
prov 20:5

These words
Combined
Reformed
Found forgotten
Rewarmed
Stagnant sentences
Dormant stanzas
Various torn discource
Draining downwards
Like forlorn sediment
Left to rest
Rolling under
the river bed
The raging representative
of forward pressing
time and culture
Roaring water
coursing vehement chariot
Churning over unobserved
Soft nuances
and charming inflections
Oh yes,
fast paced
centuries of progress
And yet,
the echo
the refrain
Tapping steady
Under a small stream's babbling
Heard in the lapping of an eddie
A fallen leaf slaps me
And Wind runs laughing
