Poetry About Deep Water

Sunlight thins to blue beneath the surface. The seafloor falls beyond the divers sight. Strange lanterns kindle in the pressure dark. Above, the boat becomes a wavering shadow. Deep water keeps its life without our witness. Wonder begins where certainty cannot breathe.

Return once more to the exact detail. The seafloor falls beyond the divers sight. Its silence contains more than we expected. Deep water keeps its life without our witness. Careful seeing becomes its own reply. Wonder begins where certainty cannot breathe.

Sunlight thins to blue beneath the surface. Hours pass, but the image does not leave. Strange lanterns kindle in the pressure dark. It returns us to depth, fear, oceans, uncertainty, courage, and what lies beyond easy sight. Deep water keeps its life without our witness. The day continues with a more attentive heart.
