Call into the deep cave
And you will receive no answer.
Voices that reach into the dark
do not spark,
do not light the path to the iridescent pool.
Shining, shimmering, rainbow water
Will attempt to make you falter
Drowning you in bliss.
But on the unlit road
you lead a heavy load
of offerings, deposited along the way.
Silently slinking a-ways behind
Picking at your peace of mind,
A thief plays your heartstrings.
And with a glance back
Your precious cargo has been attacked
And you find you are empty and alone.
Call into the deep cave
And you will receive no answer.
But go with light, and go with chains,
And make the thief know your pains,
And listen to the echo of your breath.
