Notes About The Poem

I saw a story, on the news this morning, out divers preparing an Easter egg hunt. 

Treasures of the Deep

pink basket, diving for eggs
this plastic okay
as long as they are all recovered
and don’t lay
like a wreck in the sea

pink basket, frog kick,
acrobatics and bubbles
amidst the handpicked
Easter eggs, beholding
treasures of the deep

pink basket, God’s eye
deep and wide, never
misses our whereabouts
neither our joys
or sufferings

the cross on land
never plunged
into the deep, but
the blood of Christ
counts all the loss
and the returns
are endless

pink basket, divers
give the thumbs up
everyone is okay
feeling blessed,
not one is lost
