Daily Poem
“swimming to You”
by joe disabatino
yesterday in the Samadhi
i dove through
the marble surface
down down down
i plunged into the Ocean of You
just when I saw
the shimmering white pearl of Your face
far off in the fathomless deep
my lungs started to burst
i couldn’t keep up the pace
i panicked and floated up
back into myself
Your fingers make waves in me…
since i’m afraid to call it Love
capital L
let’s call it…swimming
lately i’ve been training
for that big Ocean feat
in Your Olympic-sized pool
i’m up to 50 laps now
every morning i run five miles
along Your beach psyching myself up
for that far-off day
when i crash through the wild surf of Your smile
and keep on going
some days i snorkel close to shore
delighting in those exotic
sea creatures just below Your surface
Your fingers make waves in me…
since i’m afraid to call it Love
capital L
let’s call it…swimming
to be honest most of the time
i’m content to splash and play
in Your baby pool
in just two feet of water
singing songs of praise to You
sipping margaritas
the water not too cold
not too deep everything
just right, my preferences
set to normal
welcome to my world, Baba,
won’t You come on in
Your fingers make waves in me…
since i’m afraid to call it Love
capital L
let’s call it…swimming
i’m going to take up windsurfing next
i want to fly across the surfac
of Your waves
feel the strong breeze of Your breath
on my cheeks
i want to discover
what lies beyond the far horizon of Your gaze
i want to explore that endless space
get to know the hidden currents
map out this thing
that one day’s going to swallow me
without a trace
Your fingers make waves in me…
Baba, since i’m afraid to call it Love
capital L
can we call it…swimming?
