To Mind's Depths

To mind's depths,
          Such a plunge to make,
                            So we go,
And what we find:
        A lost thought,
                   A memory,
                       Deeper and deeper:
A feeling supressed
           By what another
                  Impressed upon
                            Our lives,
                               And opinions.
Another level,
     So very deep:
            A lost love
                 From a time ago,
                         When love did not exist
                                            For both.
Dangerously deeper,
      From where we perhaps
               Are unable to rise:
                              A thought
                                Yet to be thought
                                        Sometime later
                                               In our lives
One level more:
    To see what is there,
               And overstepped
                         To where
                          There is not bottom,
                                       And we have
                                           Become forever
                                             Just part of a memory.
