Yet and Still It's Alright
my mind is not here tonight
my body is in the cosmos
my thoughts as a whole is in a state of free fall
yet and still it's alright, i am still alive and thinking
there was a time when i thought about the less
desirable side of decision
there was a time when i looked out the window and
thought about the end of reflective pages
there was a time when i wanted to dive headfirst in
an empty swimming pool
yet and still it's alright, i am still alive and thinking
i remember when every parking lot i loitered in was
flooded with my unshed teardrops
i remember when every uncooked lunch bucket i ate
was like a five course meal
i remember when the water i drunk gave new meaning
to temporary
yet and still it's alright, i am alive and thinking
one woman wanted me to be ready in two years
one woman wanted me to refer to her as a male god
one woman was indecisive about what she wanted
there rest of the women were spinning tops going around in motions
yet and still it's alright, i am alive and thinking
God reassured me in soft conversations in the middle of many moons
God comforted me in blanketed methods in the heart of a few late autumns and full winters
God never stopped care for me or loving me despite my falterings, sins, and flaws
to Him and am always alright, and as a result i am alive when i am thinking....
