The Deeper Dive

An ode to beautiful epiphanies that hit us out of nowhere, making everything worthier than ever before. 

I was diving in the ocean 

When, all of a sudden, 

A call barged into my ears

It was the call of the blue waters

That called me into them, 

To the floor of the ocean. 

A carefree itinerant 

Down, I flew fervent 

As a kite uncanny 

Floating into the boundless sky

Deeper and deeper

Voyaged, I. 

Seagulls and seahorses

And such majestic creatures 

Did my lucky corneas manifested

Beatific, and more beatific, as I moved

Each feet deeper. 

The pearls that floated alongside me

The silver and golden

Brought a copius of soothe and serene

To my hearing soul. 

The ocean floor was in rest and insightful-

Unrest and more insightful 

Nothing on heaven and earth 

Was as fetching as

To fathom those pearls and shells. 

I met nemo and tuna 

My old friends

I thought they were malevolent 

But they didn't engulf me

All I could see in them was benevolence

And truth. 

Those depths perpetuated life in me, 

And I saw myself getting

'Reborn'

I stayed there for a while, 

Scribbled this poetry-

Chockablock with manifestations beautiful! 

And then took departure. 

And this, 

Was the most rejuvenating dive I ever had.
