NATURE OF CONTEMPLATION

The rhythm
Of
pensive contemplation
is like
still waters.
The flow
deeper, heavier
and
slower to ebb.

Why jump
into them
when shallow waters
of carefree reflections
are
brighter, safer
and
of engaging nature.

Maybe ‘cause
the dangerous depths
of still waters
bring luminous insight
into self & beyond
of me.
