Endless Deep


Some dark nights ask eternal dreams

As souls wallow in dull discontent,

But bright summer days and deep blue streams

Give answers to the greatest of torment.


In the end everyone is free,

Though our paths are wicked and winding,

And after we’ve paid our life’s due fee,

We find breaking our binds to be blinding.


But there is movement in the endless deep,

A sulking and sinking and severance.

As nightmares are pulled away from the sheep,

And freedom is the highest of reverence.

I'm a high school student with a passion for words. The way they fit together like puzzle pieces to create beautiful mosaics of language inspires me, and I love writing of all kinds. I also made a youtube channel, Poetically Perfect, to showcase some of the videos I create based off the poems I (and others) write.
