Climbing Depth

Gravity pulls the sun below the horizon Dragged to depths of darkness Shadows widespread screaming and attacking Compressing me to depressed Murky depths Sniffs that tease light Coughs echoing fears In a pitch black night Enclosed within my tears They close in inch by inch Fantasizing escape I will not let them lynch With one giant breath I push with all my might Lifting up the ocean The sun is now in sight Night that flips to day Black that turns to blue I'm black and blue but still This feeling`s all so true I stare straight at the sun The weight becomes so light Darkness now forbidden A bright heavenly sight Every prayer answered I'm one with all that's known Woe blessed with words of wisdom True peace I have been shown Battling blinding blotches No scar can hold me down I throw over the anchor The grinding gears give sound Little to my acknowledgment I threw a spanner in my works The cogs slip, slide and sliver Something wicked this way lurks Quick as a flash Quite the opposite indeed Buried in broken beliefs Receding to the weed With sheers I cut and trimmed Heavy hacks with axe Growing faster still Immune to my attacks I dug deep in the dirt The spade my only aid Revealing every root The futile faults that fade Unearthed to decompose Enriching all the soil The wind carrying sunflower seeds Relieves me of my toil
