Dig Deeper

As my mind slips Into empty space I long to embrace Death waiting below All I have to do Is let the ladder go. Just when you think You can’t sink lower Than the last one Along comes another rung. As I went off My rock-bottom rocker In Davy Jones' locker I met the grim reaper Who passed me a pick And said: “Dig deeper.” Just when you think You can’t sink lower Than the last one Along comes another rock. When I lost my Med-muddled mind I couldn’t unwind The tangled webs of time With un-thought ideas Past the paradigm. Just when you think You can’t sink lower Than the last one Along comes the thought: ‘If I dig any deeper I’ll come out beyond The other side.’
