Vertical -

My eyes are shut I see darkness Yet the blackness Dances in the light Just the tittle I am Screaming getting My mouth is shut The silence tickles my throat I am muted I can't hear myself Yet I talk as I stand versed allotted In this position vertical I rise I lift my eyes I lift my voice I lift my arms and hands Praising to the Almighty and in this present tense Vertical I stand and in this presence tense I stand Vertical tall as the tree no one comes to me I hover over the masses I react showing the dancers My feet are moving yet firmly planted on the ground And the blackness of the light that shines in the deafness Of my mouth that verses the screams in silence I stand quietly Vertical
