Steep

Much ado is all i see
(although my roots were deep)
In fact it is surrounding me
The seething crowd intrudes all day
(i sank in hillsides deep)
Until i'm finally swept away

Although i thought my roots were deep
(the rivers that erode)
I sank them into hillsides steep
And riverbanks that soon erode
(and canyons overflow)
And canyons that have overflowed
