Are "deep thinkers" shallow?

Question

I have never been one

to partake in deep thoughts

Relishing the surface of things

I see outer beauty

and appreciate it

Questioning not what I see

believing that my eye can behold beauty

I was approached and judged

for enjoying things I see

a deep thinker said "there is more to it"

I cared not for this "more to it"

I enjoy it

allow me to be shallow

I am happy with the low tide

Answer 1

I am happy with the low tide

Answer 2

I like being the one hiding the colored eggs and not telling the kiddies where I've put them, unless I see a sad little girl or boy whose basket has no eggs inside, and then I might hint or point.

Answer 3

This poem is stellar.

I applaud you for not letting the sea of deep thinkers cast you out in the tide.

Answer 4

Deep

Answer 5

you believe what you see with your sensory perception.. while deep thinkers take nothing for granted, I think it quite noble to take nothing for granted.  

Answer 6

As one who ponders things like the reason for the origin of the universe, and who created God, and how will it all come to an end, I can say with certainty that I enjoy a pretty scene, a lovely woman, a good hamburger, and most other shallow pleasing things in life.  Deep thinking has it's pace, but not as a full time occupation.

Answer 7

You like surfing rather than diving?  A nice pen.  The idea of enjoying for what's there rather than trying to analyze everything and in the process missing out is refreshing.  I try not to ponder much when I eat an ice cream bar.  Well said.

Answer 8

There is something to be said for enjoying the "low tide," a fine metaphor for the surface of things. However, it should not preclude "deep thoughts;" they are what separate Homo Sapiens from the rest of Earth's animals.

Answer 9

I think that you are probably far from shallow and although I should just enjoy the beauty of words, I see a deeper meaning.  I agree that there is nothing wrong with enjoying beauty for beauty's sake and that we don't need to always seek a deeper meaning or understanding.  This is a provocative poem that is just as lovely on the inside as it is out.
