Sounding the Soul
Sounding the soul
Diving deep down
Beneath the darkness
Deeper and deeper
Beneath the shallows
Beneath the twilight shadows
A soulful, swimming leviathan
Silently sounding
The depths of the earth
Diving down into the cavernous deep
Sounding down into the dreams
In a strange sleepy stillness
Down, down, and deeper down
To the dwelling place of lost days and nights
