Falling Deeper

When clouds draw near and all my fears become creepily consuming – As paralysis and pain set in the cold blood running through me. And every aspiration of accomplishments I dream Are passing through my fingertips like dust into the breeze. When all the toil, sweat and tears are all I have to show Others what I’ve done down here it may come as quite a blow. Like hurricanes and heavy rains following me around As shadows in the dark of night don’t ever let me down. When uncertainty is the surest thing and reality fast imploding – And everything I knew before my eyes begins eroding. The sun, moon, stars, streets, fast cars, family, friends and trees Everything I took for granted from true love to deep blue seas. Falling deeper Into fear letting go of all that’s clear Something starts to shift inside I know not what, how or why. All I know is Something good Buoys me up like water does wood. Floating ‘round still lost in foam but breathing all too well - Waiting for a life rung to save me from my half-living hell. Laughing loudly, playing wildly in the broken spell of pain Thankful for another chance to watch the ocean turn to rain.
