Searching in the depths

You ask me 

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
