deeper, much deeper than that

Sun-dappled ocean, horizon soon wild,

Lunacy push now then pull,

Golden hued wheat field, rippling breath,

Quivers in Earth’s embrace,

Chasm of cascading, roiling flow,

Forest of wonder, roots all a-tangle,

Mysteries infinite, ever sublime,

Could they be deeper than that?

Deeper, much deeper than that.

Mobius flora, creatures now new,

Chrysalis forming, escape!

Mountainsides chasing, creatures at play,

Wind blowing shadows soon through,

Canyons deep ocean floor, sleeping in time,

Ladybird fluttering, webs all a-glimmer,

Labyrinth tales told, yet still undone,

Could she be deeper than that?

Deeper, much deeper than that.

Battle wounds glowing, scars never healed,

Skeletons peeking at dawn,

Drunken down rutted roads, weary, worn,

Wondering, wandering, still,

Tarnished and sooty now, broken, cold,

Lonely in crowds ever near,

Pleading in hurricanes, weeping through dark,

Could he be deeper than that?

Deeper, much deeper than that.

Visions are beckoning, some through the wild,

Victories, maladies, deserts, storms,

Living, striving, becoming again,

Rising, renewing, yielding, reborn,

Crawling, pacing, racing, in flight,

Forward and roundabout, gasping and rest,

Scrabbling, climbing, believing once more,

Could we be deeper than that?

Deeper, much deeper than that.
