At the Heart of the Deepest Blue

By Corey Fox



I’ve always wondered what it’s like to sail the seven seas;

to drift, on the great abyss, in my boat singing, “c’est la vie.”

I’d visit the oil rigs, as I weave between metal beams,

and bask in the open air, as I wait for a gentle breeze.



I’d wander among the squalls, and then gaze at the rising moon;

find comfort and solitude, on my own little island cruise.

I’d graciously tip my hat to the ‘Old Man and the Sea,’

then wave, as I say “goodbye,” to Poseidon—it’s bittersweet!



This feels like a vivid dream, will I find what I’m looking for?

Harmony with the natural world—inner peace that I’m pushing towards?

Oh, how wonderous it would be as I row with two wooden oars;

drop anchor, then take a plunge, on my way to the ocean floor!



I’d descend, beneath the waves, until light is out of my reaches,

then float, like in outer space, ‘til I’m miles from crowded beaches.

I’d follow the current down, ‘til I’m close to the planet’s core,

then race turtles and giant squids ‘til my stamina’s ran its course.



I’d croon with a pod of whales, and surf on tectonic plates,

then I’d cruise through the coral reefs ‘cause it’s quite the exotic place!

Play ball with a school of dolphins, turn triteness to special moments,

then swim by a herd of sharks, they’re so nice when you get to know them!

I’d walk the streets of Atlantis, and skip on the cobblestone,

then admire ruins with Neptune, and sit on his marble throne.

I’m searching for all the knowledge that lies in the lunar tides;

revealing secrets of the deep, with new friends while we scuba dive.


I’d cruise the abyssal plain; scour trenches in Mariana,

then sneak like a scaredy-cat by a deadly pack of piranhas.

I'd travel to famous wrecks, be awestruck with a sudden glimpse;

to spelunk through a sunken ship’s, at the top of my bucket list!



If I could stay down here forever, I’d float to my hearts content.

Be one with the bounding main, ‘till I soften the sharpest edge.

Although sadly, whatever’s good, will eventually come to end,

and the time has arrived to say, “farewell,” to my charming friends.


Not bye, but it’s ‘see ya later,’ and not for a lack of courage.

I’m never lost if I can follow the bubbles back to the surface.

And there’s an ocean of possibilities down in my paradise…

at the heart of the deepest blue under blankets of starry nights.
