Everdeep

A dark of deepness covers sky Reaching to the mountains high What secrets lie in buried sleep In darkness, darkness, ever deep A forest of secrets undiscovered A silence of voices long been smothered The roots of forests grow deep indeed Memories stored from fruit to seed Shadows sleep among the trees Echoes carried on the breeze Floundering flashes of cold and dark An arrow speeds to its mark Deep in darkness silence sleeps Hidden secrets in the deeps Mem’ries whispered from voiceless lips The cup of shadows Secret sips In darkness memory makes her home The secrets not spoken in book or tome The trees remember what we cannot They hold the knowledge we have sought No voices evermore shall fall In darkness dim in elvenhall We mortal men forget the call Of shrouded secrets dim and small The truths mere men have long forgotten Scattered on the wind like cotton
