The Depth of a Man
How deep can a man go?
As long as he cast shadows
He will never grow shallow
My father taught me
That life can be as
Curious, and dark as the sea
Full of arcane mysteries
That we may never see
Or at least fully realize
As a true possibility
As a Black man that very well can
I still think, I think,
But I still don’t fully understand
How deep can a man go?
As innocent, and pure as white snow
A child grows, but a father does know
That his life is a reflection
Of what a man can be
Although he does not fully see
How cyclical nature can be
Life has a rhyme
No matter if we can see the reasons
From season to season
We try to understand
But there’s things we’re still missing
About the mysteries of Life
How full it can be
How shallow it can grow
How Profound reflections may seem
Casting us to a new light
A bright spot on a quiet night
What is the depth of a man?
How deep can a man get?
Are his memories seasoned
With infinite possibilities
A New Hope
An Old Fantasy
A Fresh Face
An Ancient Dynasty
How Deep Can A Man Get?
We must not forget
That unity is the platform
For Community to Stand
Without Family
A Man Is Lost
Hopelessly at See
We Cannot Get
As Deep as We Hope to Be
Without Gazing Upon
The Great Infinites
The Stars, The Oceans
The Skies, The Moons
God, You Are Depth
As Magnificent as Can Be
I See My Father In You
As I Come to Interpret Eternity
How Deep Can a Man Get?
It’s An Eternal Discovery
