Down Deep
beneath the dark earth
an earth spirit sound
knowing certain rhythms
that spoke to him
those eons of time
where mountains rose
molten lava
gives life
as a blood stream
where sometimes it erupts
and spews like an angry god
other times
it's calm
like a beach
where its sister
the ocean
rolls its sand in its own rhythm
some it rumbles
as earthquakes reminding some
that they don't have
the final word
