“That’s just the tip of the iceberg”
Is a cliché we’ve all heard,
But in point of fact, it is very true.
What shows above the water is only a tiny fraction of the
Whole hunk of ice, as
It floats around the ocean.
This is true of our lives; so
Very much of our lives, we keep hidden from view,
Down below the surface where the sun doesn’t
☼ Shine.☼
There, those things guide us or torment
Us as we circulate through the oceans of life.
A passing ship can wreck on the ice below
The surface long before it gets close to
The visible iceberg.
Again, this can be
The case in our lives;
Relationships, Jobs, Careers and
Loved ones can
Founder on the hidden truths
Below the surface; invisible
To view, they cause us to
Sabotage our very own
Happiness.
Do what
You can to clean those hidden
Obstacles to your peace.
Easier said than done,
I Know.
Rocks, below
The surface, are
Dangerous.
