Sounding the Depths

Poems are like the ocean

the depth of their meaning

is unbreachable

 

There are those who ride boats

gliding along on the surface

for a pleasure cruise

not getting wet

 

There are those who are divers

exploring the deepest depths

and pushing the frontier

ever further

 

But my favorites

are those who are fish

who skip and skim

dip and swim

among the layers

changing their depth
