‘We are strong and enduring. We are also deeply scarred’ – Audre Lorde
Deeply
Adverb
- far down or in.
- intensely
Swimming in shallow seas.
Dreaming in deep desires.
Losing myself in both.
Finding myself in both.
Sitting on the edge of expectations.
Sinking in the reality of existing.
I am far from existing.
I am even further away from not existing.
Sitting on the edge of the desire for both.
Sinking in the reality of forever living in both.
Swimming in existing.
Dreaming in not.
I am
The deep and shallow of myself.
When I think deeply,
I am
Far gone
And further attached.
When I feel deeply,
I am
Far gone
And further attached.
The intensity of it all.
The nothingness of it all.
Still swimming.
Still dreaming.
Still,
Far gone
And further attached.
How much further do we have to go?
How much living do we have to do?
When standing and falling
Float the same.
When living and leaving
Love the same.
When shallows and deeps
Drown the same.
Far gone
And further attached.
Forever detached.
