Wet Feet

 "I have come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (Jesus)

~John 10:10

WET FEET

by Leona Choy 

How can I say

I have experienced The Ocean

when only my feet are wet?

Sand between my toes

I slosh about

in the shallows.

Have I no regret

that I haven't tasted yet

the midstream ecstasy

with its current pull

and deep euphoria?

Shallow is safe?

Deep is dangerous?

Oh! The false premise

of humdrum humanity!

I could miss

The Great Everything

by bartering it

for little nothings

safe sedatives

that chain me

to the shore

eroding, consuming

my days, my years

risk free, yes

but with a phony guarantee

while I am lulled

into insensitivity

with my feet only

ankle deep

in The Fathomless Ocean

of Life.
