Analysis of Deeper Still
Love does not depart,
but the heart alone
builds a wall,
giving in to darkness,
as if darkness reigned,
or evil had the rein.
This is but a lie,
heed it not nor buy,
catch the vision - heaven's call,
let winged faith release your soul.
Truth is standing - royal Guard,
and no chasm is deep enough,
that not deeper still - is Love.
