Is it true that beauty is only skin deep? I ask you, diving man, how can this be so? Poised and ready staring down the wave and swell of the ocean, what lies beneath? What's it like to cut surface water your body preforming the switch of blade? Does it seem to you an assault at first, your bubbling breath, a festering wound? In response, tell me does all the ocean heal up around you? Does the beauty lie deep? (Currently published in the online poetry journal "Adagio Verse Quarterly."
