What is depth but a mere concept -
when puddles could be lakes
for most if filled with fire ;
Cavernous is space if planets were
but lifeless rocks and gases empty, or seas
But then again Earth is all I know
And even that is mostly surface, and
What do I know of digging deep?
But then again, I can do endless digs
With thought - and turn one into a million
A minute I can slow in stretches and horizons
or speed up to make hours into moments mere
What is it really that I do or don't know -
Too much water and one drowns
Too much air and one suffocates
not enough of any or both and one fades ;
Too cold and one freezes, too hot one burns
Deeper and deeper I go excavating the mind
How deep or how shallow do I go
before I find clarity and peace of mind? Mind -
How far or close is it to the core do I get to go?
- onward or stay behind , the point is
