DOWN BELOW

difference in living on the surface of life and being humbly connected to it

I walk around in daylight
So close to the surface
So sweet and nice
Pleasent Pleasentries
But I yearn to go beneath

It pains me
To say goodbye
I want to stay
Maybe even all day
I get called back
You see, it keeps calling me

The pain stops short
Of words to say
It just wells up
Over the top
Crashing over me
Leading me away

It calls me quietly
But loudly enough
I cannot ignore it

Down below
The surface it seems
I dwell there
It's my home
Underneath

Missing the surface
It is a slow death
I grieve letting it go
But I am comforted
By the understanding
Down below

My thought is
What I seem to need up there
Doesn't' seem to matter
Or there would be
No constant chatter

At least that's how
It is for me
Down below
