Casting Nets
They tossed their empty nets
into the deep unknown
expecting them to
fill with treasure – the kind that
would make them rich, or famous,
or a genius and when they hauled
them in they found nothing but
tarnished trinkets that added nothing
to their lives
I filled my net with love and tossed
it into the murky waters of despair
and when I tugged it back to me
found it was filled with peace

Your final metaphor adds to the emotional significance of the image.

I love this especially; “I filled my net with love and tossed it into the murky waters of despair
and when I tugged it back to me found it was filled with peace” .. Beautifully penned.

I like how you presented the metaphor then explained it in terms of how the narrator did something similar. Thanks for posting and viva la.
