"We must get quickly every day to the inward things, to the soul." - Jerry Alway
Dabble, dabble in the water
order well your skin & hair
daily deck and double check
your outward self in semblance fair
but within you, o within you
slumbers deep your breathing soul
source of all your truest errors,
joys and thoughts and secret terrors-
will you wake it? Will you wash it?
Will you seek to rouse it now?
Raise a mighty-hearted screaming or your soul will stay deep-dreaming,
content with many layered-living, senseless to the God of giving,
slave to petty, selfish grieving.
Call loud across the coming weeks, at every day's new break
Call loudly to your sleepy soul and keep it wide awake.
Plunge it whole into the water,
dabble dabble in the water,
wake it with the real, clear Water
all to clear & cleanly make.
