The Formless Deep

To the young, Time is growing
and achievement...to the old,
it is comforting and survival;
to God, perhaps, reconciliation,
an opportunity to show His
Grace and far Greater Love.
For me, it is where I float
my poetry, having put my all
into the buoyancy and power
of words; the indefatigable 
currents of phrases imagined,
once beyond the horizon, dipping
into the formless deep....

Wow, is this ever profound, Joe! When did you become a guru?! Do you charge for dispensing petals of wisdom?! Seriously, this is deep, deeper and deepest. Bravo, Gershon

The imagery that have put into words in the second half of this striking poem is spell-binding, Joe.
