Exploring the Depth

Listen to poem:

Written: May 09, 2024 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Acquiring a partner soul entails a careful dive, In calm depths, their true nature comes alive. Only then do waves prevail, twisting their prey, Can we track a hint of empathy in society today? All life begins below; we are just on the surface, It's a labyrinth of anxiety, a bay of turbulence. The objective is to grasp peeves and apprehensions, Despite dread, we will learn to swim via emotions. Shadows, depths, and darkness intertwine, We drift along in the current, seeking our line. We bear the weight of their weary waves, They share their aches and abet safe paves. Yet it was a deep gaze, not one of shallowness, Stepping into another's universe, fallowness. To appreciate their journey and their plight, Let's embrace depth to find peace in the night. So, we'll all jump into the same pit in tandem! Where does the wind lie, where truth is random? Down memory lane, in a passionate embrace, Can we utterly claim to comprehend your grace?

SP, it's not easy to find a friend we can really appreciate and trust. As you point out it takes a sincere dive with empathy....and a lot of forgiveness for how people sometimes act. You must be a very kind soul to contemplate and write this poem.

I feel like a hint of empathy also is rare today, which is why i find it soul warming when i see one that is empathetic. A very profound write again, impeccable how youv articulated your lines, and i must say there is a very deep and soulful touch to your word weaving here. I love the picture used too. And how youv written “ Stepping into another's universe, fallowness. To appreciate their journey and their plight, Let's embrace depth to find peace in the night.“ if only many would feel the same. Powerful write this is

Difficult to explore that deep, it would be easy if we were more humans. This is such a deep poem to find out. A Picasso to admire in front of my eyes. Touching my ears with your fantastic voice. Chapeau my dear Sotto, again. Have a blessed day

Much depth you explore, my friend--on the avenues of life. A reflective poem reverberates the turmoil we face as we navigate through ups and downs.

loved the metaphorical nature of your poem--the 'dive' into another's bay of turbulence. The objective is to grasp peeves and apprehensions, Despite dread, we will learn to swim via emotions. There's wisdom in these words:'was a deep gaze, not one of shallowness, Stepping into another's universe, fallowness. To appreciate their journey and their plight,' I ofttimes wonder, if I can do that with my husband and family, why not with mankind? Thought-provoking. Your poetess friend in Texas, Sara

It's a labyrinth of anxiety, a bay of turbulence: so true. everywhere is corruption. But you have a redeeming feature later in the poem: Let's embrace depth to find peace in the night. There is depth in your poem.

This poem of life brings interest in reference to diving as a metaphor relating to compassion. I enjoyed the journey of world reflection. It is always a joy to read your poems.
