Within The Deeping Dark

Within The Deeping Dark

 



There is a cage of glass and steel,

Where it is much too bright,

A cage where we're all trapped,

And blinded by the light.

Inside this pretty cage we hum,

Not knowing our poor plight.

Here we remain trapped inside

with no strength left to fight.

Break the glass I say to you!

Make it crack and shatter!

Bend the steel and burn it 'til

it turns to useless matter!

Escape this ball and chain that

the light has latched to you,

Flee this blinding prison where which

cool winds never blew.

There lies a place within a place,

That's lost and far away.

A place where night eats up the light,

and where the shadows play.

Inside this umbral sanctuary,

Lie the prayers and the songs.

That which we pray and humbly sing

so as to right our wrongs.

Inside this eerie reverie,

Our hearts will be at peace.

No hidden sin or hurt within,

Our souls as white as fleece.

Within the Deeping Dark is where

we will all embrace,

The forgiveness of the God who

fills us with his grace.

No more tempting evil,

Which in the guise of light,

Will steal our minds away again,

Beguiling our weak sight.

In the Deeping Dark we see,

The truth and not the lies.

In the Deeping Dark we feel,

A soothing of our eyes.

You need not travel far you see,

To reach this place of calm.

You need no foolish tattered maps,

Or a compass in your palm.

I will gladly tell you where,

The Deeping Dark is hid.

I pray that you not lose your way,

I plead that God forbid.

For the way is both near and far,

Both bottom and the lid.

For only when you know thyself,

of the light you will be rid.

Hear the breathing of your soul,

That sounds like singing lark.

And close your eyes and listen clear,

To the music of the dark.

Empty your heart of anger,

Purge it from all fear,

Read the notes of love and truth,

Then play a song by ear.

Then at once you will arrive,

Like the morning Dew.

Into the peace of darkness where

you are born anew.

And within the quiet of yourself,

You shall find this true.

That of all the places it could be,

The Dark it lies in you.
