THE PEARLS IN THE OCEAN

you can’t get the shining pearls

unless you go deep into the ocean

Nor do you find the quartz

unless you go deep into the earth’s deepest crust

even for water you have to go deep into it

you can’t get the sexual bliss

unless you go deep into a woman’s

body, heart and soul

Even the greatest tree can’t give its tasty fruit

unless it sends deep into the earth its root

there is no use thinking about

peripheral issues and looking

merely at the surface.

If you want to succeed in life

you have to go deep, you can’t just peep

This piece is a meaningful and a deep look into life, and how important it is for us all to look at and enjoy life with more than just a peep. The world would do well to realize we must look past the surface and enjoy life for more than what appears on the periphery.

Real pearl hunt....... nice especially in the shortcut surrounding surface

[Coyote Poetry]

A poem filled with great wisdom. Men who go half way rarely wins his desire goals. Must not be afraid to swim deep and give with all your energy and love. Thank you for the amazing poem. I like how you made your point in the poem.

WOW!! What a beautiful and sensual writing. I loved it. It made my heart pitter patter. There is so much meaning in this writing. A very powerful meaning and I got it right away. Thanks for writing it and sharing it.

Nice comparisons. You described images that have never occurred to me before, such as the quartz deep in the earth's crust and the great tree with many roots. One correction--"oceon" should be "ocean."

[Sukriti Suki]

A wonderful ending to a very nice piece. Every line here means a lot...We have to go in deep, always.
