Further Still

It's dark at the bottom of this deep cold trench

The light that shines from up above

Is tinted dark with what is here

It started small but nature grows

In the place of what's uncared for

Where once was walls are now dusty clouds

Food for the fish that never were

But something else is crawling around

Where once all life omitted

It's black and thick and holds deep down

The universe within

Distorts the mind this rift of space

It blends so seamlessly

Inviting you in to its open abyss

Then guiding you further still

What really lies at the bottom here

Is unknown to you and I

Even thought we'll try and look

The mind will always deny

Whatever's there is so far down

Your eyes will never perceive

To the "bottom" I float

Body facing the surface

Remembering how i fell in

Trust is wasted in this dark place

On those who seem to care

I stare at the failing surface light

And on my rescue that isn't there

When i'm out of my daze and swim back up

Pull myself ashore

I turn around and glare at the surface

Of my Swimming Pool
