Delta

a poem by Devika

Standing on the brink of solitude
I wonder if I should drown or swim-
There are possibilities I must explore:
Perhaps I should swim ashore,
Onto the sands of your dreams
Glinting in the distance, inviting;
I am tempted beyond reason,
Beyond the fragments of reality-
And then I look into the pools
Of isolation swirling at my feet,
Drawn into their silent depths,
For here too you abide-
How welcome would that drowning be!
The search for you has ended here-
At the brink of this Infinity
Where you have melded into me-
Where silence is the speech I seek
Memory my companion,
My currents have flowed
Into this sea,
Into you…
