Depths of Perception
How deep into your psyche
do you dare peer?
How far are you willing to go
searching
into the darkest places of your deepest fears?
Are you afraid of being unanchored from your soul?
Go drifting into the abyss ...
where time and space has no relevance
Trusted depths of perception
offers no tangible point of reference
Up could be down
Away could be nearby
The further you drift from your safe place,
the closer you'll come to know the answers why ---
guided by the mind's eye
Depths of perception ...
find your spiritual connection
to a way of life heretofore never known,
possibilities of liberties never shown
But you are drifting further away
from stark realities you don't wanna face ...
Frightened by a bogeyman world view,
children love to stay in their safe place
Never venture out,
never find out why
your closet is so full of fears
Gathering more and more
dusty piles of phobias over the years
Yours depths of perception
has long been askew,
because you never really ever got to know you
