[A]Please, [Dm]with your deep dimension close[A]
[B]Say which [F#]is worse, the longing to arrive there,
[Bbm]or the[A] terror of approach?
[Dm]But maybe, [Bb]somed[A]ay, try
Mid- slosh through intermittent voids
Try [Dm]standing long enough [G]to toe
the still [Dm]beneath
[F#]And dare an inward l[C]eap
[Dm]Cupping your feet [F]around that looming
[Dm]orb [F]below
[Dm][B]
