Below the Root

The endless miles of tunnels break

Directions - paranoia sets as no light escapes

Total darkness - your breath one of the only sounds

Through these walls of stench record sorrow

And the passages lined with bones

Walls of glyphs seem to stare through black

Sometimes faint screams can be heard

I wonder how long since their death

Below the root

Now living with no light -

Voice of the dead become far clearer

My hands trying to guide but only the

damp messages imprinted to stone I feel

water remembers

Below the root

How must I travel through darkness

Until depression takes my mind

Knowing I will never see light again

I trust the other side

as we have become one and together

We conquer

Below the root
