Poetry: Deep within

Deep within
shadows from the past
tunnels into the future
how long does it last

Lights fading to darkness
people passing no one to care
holding in tears of loneliness
face pursing in despair

Tarnished by past sin
praying fervently for relief
crossing the bridge of life
almost stolen by the thief

stricken deep within by pain
grasping simple punishment
hoping it will go away
knowing it's not Heaven sent

His forgiveness a prayer away
thinking the wrong is too much
even in his infinite grace
I reach but he cannot touch

realizing from my conscience
or perhaps it came from above
reaping may still occur
yet forgiveness comes from his love

Just as Peter sinking in the sea
twas not from God releasing his hand
but from his own doubt deep within
when faith prevails he can stand

    Deep within
    I call my bluff
    Against this savage I must win
    Even if I have to play rough
    Deep within another man lurks
    Terrible

    by Steve Marshall

    Deepness dipped deeply within me again so deeply today, & yet for me to see.
    Happiness in its mysterious darkened deepness
