Peaks and Troughs

It’s warm in shallow water
My feet they touch the ground
I see the world around me
And I feel safe and sound.

It’s cold in deeper water
But curiosity
Leads me to my hidden depths
Exploring beneath the sea.

It’s warm in the mountains shelter
Protected from the wind
My view obscured by this huge rock
And no-one sees I’ve sinned

It’s cold on the top of the mountain
And few can make it there
I feel truly at my peak
As I stand hear and stare.

Thro’ all my lifes adventures
The thing that I have found
Is that the key to greater heights and depths
Is the safe return to ground.
