Beneath what can be seen
lies
what is no longer visible. was it once visible
did we in seeing dismiss
letting what was slide away
it was once, viable and drivable
but no longer
dredging would find it
what we can no longer see
but would dredging reveal more or less than
the pain of losing
the memory of who was
before
the dredging once against reveals
what was there all along.
what we feared in seeking
we would find it.

Interesting poem and a very intriguing story behind… Nice work doc…
thanks – it was interesting to see the side scanning sonar in person. It was sad realizing what they were looking for
I was thinking the same thing about this poem. It could apply to so many things.
After reading the comments. wow. I am glad it wasn’t the one out your backdoor. Such a sad story, but glad the family got closure and he was arrested.
it was a very sad story, but yes that was once my backyard.
I wonder what mysteries below, what would we find if we dig a little deeper.
when the thaw came in march the police were looking for a truck with a body. A woman went missing about ten years before when the ponds were being built. They realized that she had been near the ponds and that her ex-boyfriend had been working on houses in the subdivision.
They scanned both fronts, back andour pond. They found the truck in the very front pond.
Nicely penned poem and really applicable to many life situations
thanks the impetus is in the comment to dawn and to Carol below.
This post is very thought provoking! Good job! And as Carol says below, can apply to many situations/subjects.
thanks – i wrote it sitting on the couch watching the pond from indoors.
the answer is in the comment to carol below!
This poem could apply to many things in life. Great job again Doc.
It could in fact. The police came to the door and asked (it was still winter) if they could run a sonar barge over the pond. we asked why. They were looking for a truck and a missing woman and believed it was hidden in one of the three entrance ponds to our subdivision (it was but not the pond in the picture).
Wow this is a bizarre story Doc. You will never forget this one for sure.
it was, the ended up arresting the ex-boyfriend and he was convicted of murder. The family of the woman finally got peace.
I never fished in that front pond again!
Wow, that is a bit way out there and on the odd side!
that is a good way to put it. it was out there.
Beautiful song. Does the snow this year?
it has not snowed yet where we are now.
ps the why is in the comment I made to Carol above!
A great song dedicated to your pond, dear friend
I told Carol (see that comment) the why of the story. It was a really interesting day.
I read … this is a really interesting story for all time, dear friend
thanks pal, i loved watching the tech they used, but it was freaking me out why they used it.
I do not understand that one person can be interested in so many different things and that everything is so up to date …. it already gets mixed up when I read these posts …. just don’t get me wrong … all the posts are fantastic only so many one things all at once … congratulations, dear friend
it comes from a long career and being involved in many different things.
