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

[Veronica Chandler]

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.

this is really good you had a typewrite on ocean but still great write!

[MichelleClay]

Discovering what is beneath the surface is what is always important for that is where true beauty and pleasure can be found.
