What significance does a drop, a river, a storm, or a wave hold? If You will it, even the dryness of the shore can drown me.

In this couplet, the poet speaks of utter surrender to the Divine or the Beloved, completely discarding the worldly rules of cause and effect. We assume that only a furious tempest, a deep river, or rising waves can pull us under, but the poet dismisses them as powerless on their own. Ultimate destiny rests solely in Your will—if You decree it, even the absolute safety of a dry shore has the power to submerge me.
