it’s big
and deep
impossibly big
unimaginably deep
this ocean
in which I find myself
treading water
all alone
hoping against hope
to be discovered
saved
rescued
before I succumb to hypothermia
or get eaten by sharks
or die of starvation
or simply drown
lost and alone
helpless
hopeless
homeless
in a tumultuous sea
that swallows me
and will not spit me out

Too deep

there’s a lot going on in this one, Ed; I suspect the water is metaphorical —

Indeed, John. It is the sometimes overwhelming crush of life’s circumstances that will seem too much to bear from time to time.

Thanks, John. I know. Just… in all my years the duration and intensity has not been like this. But, yes! I like that – “soldier on.” Nothing for it but to do so. The feather-laden ice cream helps. 🙂
