Depth OR Distance

Know how distinct depth is from distance,

Wherein one dives into deepest;

In latter merely floats,

Sailing isn’t descend, nor bring any zest.

 

One may say, ‘crossed horizons to share,

Got inundated with knowledge, diverse,’

But it’s myth that one can apprehend it all!

As takes life to know a land - big or small.

 

One may sail or swim & can cross,

Miles & miles measured being sailed;

But that never illumines, nor bequeath,

What does when plunged into any depth!

 

Indeed! No miles can be measured,

When in darkest dived into blue & deep;

Know - what shalt illumine in those depth,

Ain’t bequeathed by upthrust than what’s in deepest seen.
