Fathomless

The ocean is fathomless and cold

but I am like the rain, chattering

and stumbling down from above

the ocean is fathomless and cold

but I am like the river, twisting

and turning by way, chewing mud

down into my rush

the ocean is fathomless and cold

but I am like the storm, calling

down the thunder to shake the beds

of this little town

the ocean is fathomless and cold

but I am the puddle, thin

and warming in the sun

the ocean is fathomless and cold

but I won’t be the ocean, until

I have only my water left to me
