Still Wakes The Deep - Poem

 About two months ago, I was doing some random browsing online when a certain expression caught my eye. That expression was, "Still Wakes The Deep" and, to me, there was just something so ambiguous about it, something so beautiful yet terrifying at the same time and I felt compelled to compose a piece based on it.

I choose to take more of the serene route, instead of a darker standpoint, while writing, as I felt more connected to that softer, calmer element the concept entailed. The poem, upon its completion, spoke about, the sound of stillness at the bottom of the ocean. I tried to imagine the sounds of muted beauty, the stillness of moving waters, and the tiniest flicker of life in a uninhabited place.

Yes, if you read that last sentence you'd probably say none of it make sense, but that is where, I feel the magic and, multi-faceted ambiguity is really captured.

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy the read,

Best Wishes to you,

Still Wakes The Deep - Poem

In the depth

Of oceans and sea

There lies a silence

A stillness complete

The world is but muted

Movement is but a fraction

There is just the heart and soul

No need for any angry action

But sometimes even in all the stillness

There lies movement only seen by those who understand

A soft traverse of waves

A gentle wash onto your hand

The sea is alive

In the stillness it's awake yet silent

The depth, in the night

Still whispers it's love, in the soft, serene and quiet

Feel the stillness

Understand it's magical beauty

Bond with flowing rivers

For it's waters ride on for eternity.
