�� The Deep Pool
The Deep Pool


I want you to plunge into my life

as if you were diving into a deep


pool in the sea let nothing be

hidden from you hold your breath


and swim underwater to explore

every crevice in the rock and


the coral make your way through

the undersea vegetation question-


ing the strange creatures which

you may encounter let the fish


gossip with you about me ques-

tion the giant squid and the


poisonous sting ray they can

tell you much about me (some of


which you may not like to hear)

let nothing be hidden you must


know me as I was before you came.
