Deep



Darkness is deep and low....
Surrounding places,  I don't know,  
And, life proceeds, though left alone,
Inevitable outcome,  etched in stone.
Lost in conscious,  blind aware
Oblivion kills what's growing there,
And world breaks down to Me and You...
A broken truth, lies can't renew.
Transparent wisdom drowns My soul,
Neglect and silence take their toll...
Wasted time and broken dreams
Are bleeding out through faulty seams.
Lying lifeless,  on the floor,
Dim the lights and shut the door...
Clouded vision,  hollow stare,
Darkness feeds on what's not there.
