The Pool – Daniel Amos – letras

« The pool is very deep and cooland nothing here is hard to doNothing that should trouble you »Shrouded forms that start and sighAs they pass this wanderer byLakes that endlessly outspreadFoamy blanket river bedsI stand, stand by the water, knee deepDeep in the fountain, now down, I go underThen rise up, rise up foreverThe waves that mount and tumble highI meet the melancholy skyAnd all I have I count for lossThere in the clouds one single cross »Yes, deeply I have sleptAnd now I rise as one who has gone downInto the well springs of new lifeDown across the milk white sandsI wade out into the sleepy coveAnd bathe in the holy streamThen suddenlyI shatter the level mirror of the lakeUpon an everlasting tideInto the silent pool I glideI plunge to wash this black heart cleanAnd rise a swan upon the wing
