The Deep

The Deep

From Google Images
It was hard to fathom it
Swinging the lead.
Sounding out
On the contours
The best approach.

Looks could be deceiving
If you catch the drift
Still waters.

And the ripple effects
Concentric circles
Spiralling out
Crashing on the sandbars
The bluffs.

Rough enough
Clearing the decks.

Allowing for the wind
And yardage
Peering into
The murky depths
The grooves.

But, any port
In a storm.

It doesn't do
To set your sights
Too high
Shooting fish
In a barrel.

Frank Murphy.
