The Shallow Depths

You have sent for  me to calm the impeccable sea, you have sent for me to set your spirit free, they have been up all night beating drums and doing some strange ritual under the golden sun, they walked for hours in groups of  two and threes to get to the troubled sea, scorched and baked in the morning sun, destiny had them on a vicious run, they had to get to the shores before sundown before they can detached from  the unusual crown.

They have completed phase one of the journey and cross the section where the jackass used to shade from the sun under the old timber  tree erected next to the old rusty pipe where the old men often meet and roll dice on a  broken garage door until midnight.

I am trying to figure out how you get from the  mountain to the shore and end up at the garage door., the will is stronger than the heart  and you need  extra courage before you start, the plane is set in motions and the native witnessed the wing when it hit the mountain  peak and landed in the sea, the magic kept everyone alive where the old men used to role the dice; it is the mystery of the sea that create  the covering for you and me.

You have sent for me to mingle in your  in passions and  listen to your hearts desire, but you have everything that you need to walk boldly up the street, you have locked your heart to mine and everything will be fine, I can feel your blood running through my vain and life will never the same, you have taken a part of me that keeps my spirt free as we journey towards hope in the unseen  depths.

The struggle is real and you cannot deny how you feel, you are afraid when you come face to face with yourself and the explicit imagery is bubbling up in your head, it is not an ordinary fleet when you are stuck in a dark place and your heart is chained to grace. I have never experienced this before, my Adelaine is running hot and I must lay this burden down when I reach the ocean floor.

You have sent for me to complete the next stage of the journey, you have crossed the Countyline and you have everything that is mine, you must tag your personal position and recognize the battles that you have won, you must reorganize your team before you start floating in the stream.

You have completed the second phase and will advance to the third stage, so saddle your horse and get ready to go on that once in a life time journey, there is nothing much left to negotiate, you have already crossed the shallow depth.
