Deep Beneath the Clear Blue
by Rula Shindeep beneath the clear blue
my weightless body strains,
ruthless mass of liquid might
gradually I fly against
I shake my head in disbelief
assembling scattered selves within
the brutal laws of fluid flight
gradually I soar against
riding tides of gentle pull
losing weight I plunge down deep
diving for just a single glimpse,
a hopeful vision of yours to keep
Time maintains its pace above
though down here it measures slow,
I breathe to sink in search of treasure
where blue turns black and cold
itÂ’s here I find you
deep in your bronze skin
alive, isolated and struggling
battling the inevitable
itÂ’s here that we meet
when all the expanse of blue
turns into an infinite Island
made of me and you
breathlessly we glide
in slow motion strides
waiting for the sacred
incredible loving collide
firmly entwined we breathe as one
drawn together like magnets in their field
helplessly hurling into watery space
together in oneness, within
ravenously
desperately,
we feed
willingly
the inevitable motion is set
when one pulse melds to two
a single entity is now our ocean,
WE ARE the clear deep blue

Author's Note: together and ever-expanding,
this patient cavernous Sea
is now an eternal Island
made of us…

| Posted by Ashok Sharda on 04/26/04 at 02:40 AM This world of watery space looks imaginative on the surface but sounds so real ‘ Deep beneath the clear blue’. A world with in a world.
The gravity is too obtrusive on the surface but what matters is the lightness of being in the ‘deep’
The struggle is inevitable between the gravity and the levity, between the dark and the light, against the brutal laws, barricading the ‘flight’.’Riding on the ‘tides of gentle pull’ for just a single glimpse’ looks like a driving force resulting into a ‘meet… when all the expanse of blue
turns into an infinite Island
made of me and you’
for that ‘sacred
incredible loving collide’. The ultimate ONENESS.
.
What does the loving collide do in the lightness of being in this world of the ‘clear deep blue’, a world within a world? ‘The inevitable motion is set’. The charge of the refined energies is supreme, ‘when one pulse melds to two’ firmly entwined we breathe as ONE
drawn together like magnets……… together in ONENESS, within’, The observer and the observed is one, They are a ‘single entity’. ‘WE are the clear deep blue.’ The subject and the object both forming a single WE, the clear deep blue. Duality has no place here. WHAT IS is WHAT IS. ‘The clear deep blue’.

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 04/28/04 at 02:45 AM Lovers locked in the womb of the world, with its good and bad, is what springs to mind upon reading this evocative piece Rula. Superb expression, that I'm sure we all can relate to in our own way. |
