The water
I am angry
Because of those who don't think
Because of those who don't care
How can you just live?
You don't appreciate what you have
You don't look deeper than the surface
You're just living in the moment
You're just seeing what's right there
How can that make you happy?
It's an illusion
It's a veil
It has to be…
If not, why can't I?
Why do I need to look further?
Is that why I'm never satisfied?
I always dive into the water
But I can never find the bottom
Maybe that's the illusion

As a wild swimmer, I really appreciated this metaphor.
I think this poem illustrates the pure ness of who we are when faced with the water. Almost as if we absorb it all back into the wave - happiness, anger, frustration. It hears it all. Magic, really.
Thank you for sharing.
