plumb my depths

look deep into my eyes
the windows of my soul beckon

do not avert your gaze
plumb my depths

can you fathom the pain you see
does it touch your stone cold heart

is shame or guilt awakened when you ponder what you have done

look deeper still
the windows of my soul offer no resistance

do not squelch your curiosity
plumb my depths

can you fathom the strength residing there
does it shock your preconceptions

is understanding awakened when you behold my visage set like flint

look once more
the windows of my soul are unshuttered

do not fear your fate
plumb my depths

can you fathom forgiveness you do not deserve
does it soften your critical nature

is repentance so hard knowing mercy trumps judgment
