The Discovered Abyss

“Hey, let’s hike to the bottom”, he said.

“No one’s seen the canyon below”.

Sliding down the hill’s slippery slope,

We landed where boys seldom go.

Under a veil of moss and ferns,

I saw the clearest water flow,

Traversing the abyss of paradise,

Few humans will ever know.

The quiet peace was addicting,

Time suddenly moved very slow…

We pledged ourselves there forever,

But,

Heaven surrendered and let us go.
