Jack 70

I know of this deep dark pool

I swim there often

I know it’s deep

But I have no idea how deep it really is 

Sometimes I dive below the surface 

Not knowing how far it will take me 

But I always find enough air to surface again

It can take my breath away

But then my lungs fill with air once more

And I live to swim another day
