The Deep
Interesting poem I found in the comments for a Donkey Kong Country song on youtube. I just love the imagery of it, so I wanted to post it on here for my own future reference.
I feel as if I'm sinking into the deep,
with all of my troubles left behind me.
My bubbles dance above,
ascending back to the top while I fall deeper.
Every ripple, every bubble is a crease in the timeless space my body has joined.
The light fades, and I become a shroud in the dark.
A shadowed form sinking slowly to places Man will never see,
to places I myself cannot see.
When the song ends I again am on the surface,
home to a reality I can see and feel but nowhere as real as the deep.
I feel as if I'm sinking into the deep,
with all of my troubles left behind me.
My bubbles dance above,
ascending back to the top while I fall deeper.
Every ripple, every bubble is a crease in the timeless space my body has joined.
The light fades, and I become a shroud in the dark.
A shadowed form sinking slowly to places Man will never see,
to places I myself cannot see.
When the song ends I again am on the surface,
home to a reality I can see and feel but nowhere as real as the deep.
