Sinking into imperceptible depths of humanity
(Too shallow-minded for such a bottomless deep)
Slow water takes me down
Slow water makes me drown
Ego haud fides in Deus, non-Opus Dei; tantum in mihi
(I have no faith in God, nor his works; only in me)
Slow water takes me down
Slow water makes me drown
Deus mos iacio suus manuum super mihi in Dies Irae
(God will lay his hands upon me on Judgement Day)
Slow water takes me down
Slow water makes me drown

That's an amazing poem, very impressed. The flow, the Latin, the somberness.
ReplyDeleteA baptism, a rite of passage. I love the use of the latin and the repetitions just like in a ceremony of some kind
ReplyDeleteAgree with the previous comments, loved the combination with Latin and the repetition works perfect for me! Good potluck!
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree, too. The combination of English and Latin makes this an impressive piece of work!
ReplyDeleteto me this speaks of humility, almost so self-critical that it escapes humility...
ReplyDeleteI love the admission of being too shallow even to sink to the depths of human weakness, geeze...
