How can I say
I have experienced The Ocean
when only my feet are wet?
Sand between my toes
I slosh about
in the shallows.
Have I no regret
that I haven't tasted yet
the midstream ecstasy
with its current pull
and deep euphoria?
Shallow is safe?
Deep is dangerous?
Oh! The false premise
of humdrum humanity!
I could miss
The Great Everything
by bartering it
for little nothings
safe sedatives
that chain me
to the shore
eroding, consuming
my days, my years
risk free, yes
but with a phony guarantee
while I am lulled
into insensitivity
with my feet only
ankle deep
in The Fathomless Ocean
of Life.
