Beyond the Sea
Beyond the Sea
Look what washed up on the shore...
I just realized why
a man might lock away
a tiny piece of his heart
then cast the key
into the deepest sea.
It's likely he's learned
something about pain and,
something more about survival
living in this world at odds
with our Universe's
chaotic and random love
for all of her creation.
Now perchance someday
while standing at water's edge
the ocean delivers you a key,
know you have been given
the sacred means to unlock
that quivering and timid love
entombed within us all.
It is by going down into the abyss
that we recover the treasures of life.
Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.
~ Joseph Campbell
