What do I feel so deeply
And I have felt everything so deeply
And wondered
how deeply the deeps can be
I felt the depths of nothingness
and grateful
for the privilege to think of it
For life is strange
The easier it gets
the greater the unrest
I felt deeply
of what a philosopher once said
Till I felt deeply
of an opposite what another said
To pursue the beyond
that intoxicated my mind
Some deep contradictions
I suppose were swaying
at my mind
But knowledge to no amount
could pacify my heart
And I decided upon every simple thing
a simple man would do
To try to be true to self
To try not to hurt anyone else
For above all the unseen possibilities
Is the possibility of what lies
Right in front of my eyes
