Depth

I never noticed your depth
Your ability to continue on forever
has me wandering like I've never seen this place before.
You deepen
You expand
You flow
You surprise

I never noticed your depth

Never seeing this side of you

has me wandering if I really knew you.

I thought you were

my best friend

my confidant

my secret-keeper

the one I tell my hopes to,

share my dreams with...

I never noticed your depth

but here I stand at an opening that is inviting,

yet new.

I want so badly to know you

to love you

to hear you

and to understand you

but everytime I think I do...

I find that I am lost in your depth.

You were created with depth.

Created with mystery,

passion,

hopefulness,

love,

peace,

joy,

and faith...

so when I try to describe you

and define you

when I try to understand you

I find that I really don't know you at all.

I never noticed your depth

but it's true.

You are deep

you are fascinating

you are new

you are wonderful.

And although I cannot explain you,

I see in you!

And I see my friend

my confidant

my secret-keeper,

the one I tell my hopes to,

and share my secrets with.

If you were easily describable I would tire of you

and so in my confusion

and depth finding,

I find that I truly like you.

I see so much in you,

I see so much mystery,
passion,
hopefulness,
love,
peace,
joy,
and faith...

In you I see that you seek to resemble something more

mysterious and more

passionate.

In Whom is all Hope,

all Love,

all Peace

all Joy,

and Faith.

Sometimes, it is scary to think I know you

and find that you have so much depth.

But I take delight that

You were created with a desire to have His depth,

to have His image etched into my very heart.

And although sometimes I think I will never know

what it means to be "me"

I find that the depths

which flow

and overwhelm

are what makes Him delight in me.

I never noticed the depth of my own heart before.
