Delve the Deep

Gentle steps of naked grace

cross the field with naught a trace.

Nimble cadence, without a care,

bathing in the springtime air.

Wisps and waves of snowy tresses

grace the earth with tender caresses.

Eyes majestic, burning bright,

soul as pure as morning light.

The wilds call her once again

away from the world of other's ken.

Forsaking towers of twisted steel

to find a home with the surreal.

Go, greet the wilds,

oh intrepid exile.

Wonder waits just beyond the veil.

Enchanting all who'd hear Her tale.

Go, delve the deep;

plunge in with a running leap.

Seek the darkness that shouldn't be found

and free that which they wanted bound.

***

Shadows weave alluring webs,

calling the brave from their beds.

Bursting with creations unseen

by those who walk the path serene.

Falls of diamond, flowing free,

hidden within a vale of green.

Maw of gaping, weathered stone -

gateway to a realm unknown.

Inside, an icy, halcyon pool

sparkling like a treasured jewel.

Lit by the barest hint of light,

revealing quite an astonishing sight.

Two orbs amid the shadows inset,

lodged within a large silhouette.

A creature that belonged only in books

regarded her with a curious look...

***

Go, greet the wilds,

oh intrepid exile.

Wonder waits just beyond the veil.

Enchanting all who'd hear Her tale.

Go, delve the deep;

plunge in with a running leap.

Seek the darkness that shouldn't be found

and free that which they wanted bound.

Author's Note

So I don't ACTUALLY know if I'd call this song lyrics or a poem, I sorta wrote it with both concepts in mind at one point or another. It has a 'chorus' in the sense of lyrics, but it's also one of these story-poems I keep churning out. Maybe it's all of the above, I dunno. Just don't ask me to narrow it down any further than that, cause I doubt I could.

This is gorgeous! The rhyming flows beautifully and it has an enchanting tone to it. I enjoyed this very much.

[Sazaku]

Thank you very much. I'm really happy you used the word "enchanting", as that's something I was specifically reaching for. I wanted to craft the words in a way that was... alluring in as much a way as lines on a page can be. Glad you enjoyed it.

This piece is very dream-like and in a way, mysterious.

[Sazaku]

Yeah, that's definitely a lot of what I was going for here. Nature has always had a mysterious quality to it, inspiring countless myths that persist still today. Even in our era of science and knowledge, people still want to dream, as the latest stream of best selling Fantasy books will show. There'll always be another cave to explore, so long as one's willing to wonder...

Anyway, thanks for yet another review. I have a bad tendency to ramble.

You're welcome! :D
