Deepest Sea

When at last there's no more to do And everything says there's nothing left to be said The whole earth weighs upon the shoulders Relief is a million light years away Darkness becomes a blanket Even joy has found a place to hide Everyone begins to laugh, saying what a fool The ground a quagmire holding back the things I desired Concrete walls blocking the hands from loved ones For the theater of life shows a blank screen Of the achievements strived for This is when one must climb the highest mountain To understand the depth of the sea To really see the nothingness it really means
