| Gold leaf, dye and acrylic on unprimed canvas, 48"x48" |
In every stepwell, lies a ledge
Where man
and angels fear to tread
Yet all who dive and drink therein
Find living
water stored within.
From a
nearby thorny hedge
Falls the
feathered fragile fledge
Sinking neath
the silvery sedge
Without bower,
without kedge
Left to drown among the dredge.
Withered soul,
she walks the edge
Mouth dry,
heart burst and bled
“Dig deep, look
back", stepping farther in
Transfixed yet parched, brave diver dives again.
Of depths
and heights, I here do pledge
Despite great
fear and lonesome dread
May I choose
love, yet again
both bird
and diver are akin.
