The Buoyancy of Wisdom

shallow is my regret
                               for a deeper sea of experience
                                               fills me

            
                                          on this I float

Thank you Lawrence. Someone here once called me a word economist, I never thought my name and economist would appear together ;) xomo

Back with kudos for a richly deserved podium win this 'humdinger,' Mo. Very happy for you!! :) gw

Somehow, 'on this I float,' reminds me of the line, 'of Thee I sing,' in the song, "My Country 'tis of Thee." ---Go figure … And the first three lines are reminiscent of a short Emily Dickinson (of all people!) poem involving the sea. Unfortunately I can't remember it and, having just searched, couldn't summon it up on the Internet. I'll have to look in an actual book … Anyway, Cheers!! This one's a humdinger, Maureen! ~ Gershon

I don't think there's much originality of though in this piece, just my way of putting it together. For me, it blooms from a favorite line in a favorite song, "if I could cry me a river of all my confessions would I drown in my shallow regret", Black, by Sarah Mclachan. xomo <3

Multidimensional, caused by a deep thinker. The extra oxygen maybe.

Yeah! I'm hoping to get a doctor's prescription for more ;) (seriously) Thank you Caren! xomo
