As subtle as a tiger
crouched ready for the kill
walk bravely into the fog
until all that remains
is a crystal silhouette
        then
Dive into the ocean
but don’t forget to take
a deep breath
and when you’re as blue
as the water that surrounds you
then you’ll know the wisdom
to be found only
        there
