The Dive

 

Woes—have filled,
Once again these eyes.
Pools of black coldness.
One would think,
Blinking could pull the plug.
But what should be considered first;
Is the dive.

    At the bottom there’s a sleep turtle who turns around and looks at you like “Heyy man”. And beyond that there’s just bubbles and clean water.

    1. We all need a good decompression every once awhile…even in the dark waters.

  3. Making way for the ‘bends’!
    Or hopefully not….aiming for the surface, don’t get lost in the undertow!
    I love the ‘Pools of black coldness’, we’ve all been on the edge of those frigid waters! (sending you a warm blanket and a mug of hot cocoa!)

    1. Thank you! I found this in one of my old journals and thought it is was good time to show the world how we can overcome depression with motivation “the dive”…to pull the plug.
      No bends, please….haha! Or hopefully I won’t drown either, but it would be a hell of a way to go.
      Yum hot cocoa! Can’t wait for cooler weather. 🍁🍁🍁

    1. It sure is! Chris got it for me http://hirsute.amorphia-apparel.com/
      I have a Frida Kahlo and Emily Dickinson (which is too big and he forgot to have them print Emily on it…so she is incognito which is fitting for her. Need a new one, and a Woolf and Flannery O’Connor….
      Chris has a couple ones…Tycho, Karl Marx, and Teddy Roosevelt. Looks like they added a Donald and Hillary.
