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
