Valleys Deep

.....................................................................................................................................


In the mind where high mountains dwell Wretched with pitfalls of dark wells Old wounds that cannot be dispelled Pangs of fear, lion’s lair Oh, how dark thoughts have cliffs to fall Deeper than devil’s snare Conquered hurdles, may find a view In contrast of the one we knew Through the shadows, we tunnel through Dark pits, and valleys deep To find fears of imagined hue Putting the black to sleep
