Fifteen percent on the surface,

Eighty-five percent unseen

Says we should be

Paying more attention

To the unknown and

To the dream.

The world would be

More gentle then,

Less driven and

Less mean;

Less anxious that

We live in the dark, somewhere

On the water between.

More light would shine

On the shadows,

Less attention paid

To what would seem

The best of what

Comes to the surface,

The rich and the fat and

The cream.
