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
