None

I wish for my soul to grow deep like the pacific
For this I pay the cost in tears and turmoil that slaps like a high tide against the rocks
To sink deep in life is to be harder to move 
Deeper than the deepest root and speak of life like a favorite jazz tone
To rock with life like necks to a smooth jazz groove
BOOM BOOM TAP I do
With wisdom thick as cold grits and saturate my seeds with this
Again I wish

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
