Deep From Within Poem by Winston Edgar Hall

Deep From Within began as an impromptu, on stage presentation as Boy's State in the Summer of 2007. In addition to playing the role of Town Mayor and Choir Member (choir members were allowed access to the cafeteria quicker - I cannot sing) , I opted to play my hand in the talent show. As a young man spending his free time writing in my journal instead of playing football, I let the beautiful countryside move me and my pen across the pages, just as the entry to the poem portrays. At that time, the poem was meant to simply be an act in the talent show, and not an entry in a book I would write much later in life. The original work of Deep From Within was much more choppy; the ideas we not refined and my youthful self was not aware of the true message locked within the words.
The true message in this poem has to do with a walk through life as an Old Soul. An Old Soul from my perspective is a person who must evolve in the face of Truth. There are those in life who assert Truth as something subjectively malleable depending on the perspective, though this poem seeks to portray the opposite. Truth in my eyes is something completely objective and outside of us serving as the guiding forces for life. An objective view on Truth would be seen mainly as something Theistic which indeed I am without subscribing to any specific religion.
