Ever notice how blury everything is
Looking through the bottom of a glass of water
How when you toss the waves
The tiny people on the ship become sea sick
You can almost taste the salt
But it's clear and fresh and drinkable
So why when you dip your finger in
Do you feel that dip in your stomach?

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

water is both life and death, interesting musing, enjoyed the read.

It's in your eyes a fire that's wild and glorious
Unhibited, unfinished in everything I do Let the morning rise like our hearts desire" whipping boy

Hmmmmmm...I should ask my Grandfather; he was a sailor!  Actually, I don't know the why of the dilemma...maybe it's just 'cause we ppl are given the gift of thinking.  Trying to figure things out for the better?!  Well, nice thought provoking piece!  Nice read too!
