Carrie Richards Poet Verse

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
