Shadow of the Deep
A fading silhouette
Betrayed as the darkness sets
Unseen in the unknown
Taken from my loving home
A blanket of relief
Under clouds that shelter me
A storm that grants me life
In the nothing I’ve contrived
A shadow strikes the land
The lightning forces out my hand
I struggle to conceive
How it is my darkness breathes
A fear for all that’s passed
Empowering the shadow cast
I dive for the unknown
The icy waters becoming home
Frozen in belief
Colder in the coming deep
Still shapeless in reform
Still alone in the coming storm
A dying silhouette
The deepest places take effect
A luminescent glow
And suddenly I recall I’m home
