Ziip-e fljy!

I sink under the surface and hide in safety

That surrounds me like soft water,
and murmur songs from the deep
I rarely allow myself to hear

I always dived from the highest cliffs
Searching in the leap itself
Searching in the very fall
What I always thought I wanted





But in tiny moments
In your eyes
In a closed door
In a silence
In something that I never saw
But always knew

I found the opposite of what I searched
Underneath everything
Lying there
In silent water, sleeping,
waiting to be seen, to be lived

by me
