The Profundity of Sheep

The Profundity of Sheep

A Poem by Butch Decatoria
"

An affirmation of sorts...

"

I will follow you

and call it love

     to the edge and the ends

of our earthly bed

by your pipers' song

trusting your will / my blindness

because I do not fear


love...



Teach me as a shepherd

my own wisdom bleats

      no depth nor words worth hearing

since speech belittles the lesson

and removes much meaning


the gifts love gave


Lead me forward and away

to awe instead of weep

the heaven in our embrace


there is no place for doubt

no panic but for the grave...


I trust that I must matter

even as a speck of dust

you carry me through winter

to rainbows

reminding me of


Love


Even as I wallow in the hollows

of self worth


you mean to me as I'm meant to be

since time was given birth

gold and truth

the light of you


Even as a speck of dust...


Flooding tears upon the eye

no worry

no bounds

or bleating cries

there is no Falling

when you, my love

are my every


sky.

Interesting choice for a title. A description of a powerful love, a backdrop of the mundane.
