Seal me Beneath the Earth
Away from all these People
In a muffled, older, lightless World
Take me under Deeper
to Catacombs untouched by Time
Away from Harm and Life and Rhyme
into a World of quiet Soil
beneath the Roots and Ancient oil
My path takes Me through these places
To Silent Close and Unseen spaces
Where the Oldest spirits Hide their Faces
Following that Hard stone Road
to the Centre of
the World I go
But Do Not try to Follow me
Down this pass no-one can See
and Leave no marker
Nor Grave upon the Surface
I cannot let those Above
know my Delving purpose
for Alone I tread to Darker,
Deeper Secret places
A journey with no Light to guide me
and A Hope no-one will Ever
Find me
So far underground,
There is
No Sound,
No Night or Day
and Here
I lay
at the very core of it all
My existance
Exhales
and my body fails
Here in this Under-world
of Shadow sages
and Earthen walls
and Stalactite cages
Hidden from the Eye
of everything up High,
it’s here that I lie
Beneath it all,
and then comes that long
Breath’d Sigh
and that final Diamond-Hard
Good-bye
In the Dark
with no way to discern,
To the Dirt
I will Return
