The Crush

if only you will agree to lead me 

to the rushing river of

my disbelieving senses

they betray me too often

fail me leave me in rapids gasping

grasping for shadows of you that fall

to the precious lake below 

the 

shadow-

falls

crushing boulder 

to jewel

holding me under in 

wonder of the image 

of things

to come
