Gazing into The Deep

Gazing into The Deep

Some are afraid of hitting bottom.
I am afraid of being shallow.
No matter the topic,
the body of water,
or the experience,
I usually want to go deeper.

I do this with my eyes open.
I want to see what’s below the surface.
I want to see what’s holding me up
and what’s bringing me down,
so I can learn how to float.
To be unattached to this world while still in it.
