Lifepoems

Take this staff a man told me
and measure the depth of this ocean.
At every place I tell you
take a measurement
and try to understand
So I went out two feet
and the water was 2 feet deep.
At Four feet
the water was 4 feet deep
At eight feet I could not measure;
I had to swim
The water was too deep to walk in.
And I could only imagine
as much as my shallow mind could imagine
how deep that life giving water could be.
The water was clear
and very pure
and quenched my thirst more than any other.
Even though it was so deep
and so very vast;
I could stay there forever

| A good metaphor for "the creator" nicely written. |

Not too shallow, your mind. Brilliant, I would say. Stay submerged in that water, for it will never leave you.
Take care.
