Sounding

I sound the bottoms shallow draw
To watch the distance of the floor
And stay away from rocks and stones
This ship that stays my flesh bones

I throw my weight to read the deep
To stay my ship a course to keep
But oft my line would foul a hole
And show false reading to my soul

It’s hard to stay devoid of strife
The whole and balance of my life
The wear and tear the slime and grime
That tallies on our prime and time

And when I look the mirrors clew
I see more lines of added view
With parchment layers pealed to thin
I see the blood flow neath the skin

And so old age now steers the show
Bnt still I sound where ere I go

I see more lines of added view
With parchment layers pealed to thin
I see the blood flow neath the skin
I know that feeling and I am younger than youse
