A breeze did slide in under eaves
and stirred inside the air that grieves,
my children grown my dreams have flown,
alone I sit my rocking throne.
My chair in front of window bare,
I look… but husband’s soul elsewhere.
Beneath my feet the floorboards moan,
alone I sit my rocking throne.
Each day I rock the same tic tock
and change not from my sleeping frock.
Once soft my face now turned a crone,
alone I sit my rocking throne.
The length of cobwebs measure time
they speak no secret sing no rhyme,
but air that’s stirred does tend to drone…
alone, I sit my rocking throne.
I pray to rock myself to sleep
as old-age-chains do rust with weep.
These tears from seeds of sorrows sown,
alone I sit my rocking throne.
The run of beads and crucifix
will not unfix life’s mix of tricks.
A rosary my rope and stone,
alone... I sit my rocking throne.
Of God I beg relief from grief,
unbind my mind from mortal sheaf.
This plea endures like sun bleached bone—
alone I sit my rocking throne.

It's true things are hard to unfix
Nature's playing games and dirty tricks
Instead of games
Gonna fan the flames
Until winter and spring intermix

I was told rock bottom is a sad place,
a land full of misery and disgrace.
Rock bottom wasn’t bad at all,
I had quite a joyful ride taking that fall.
Lessons were learned in that enchanting city.
It taught me how to be grateful and not to wallow in self pity.
Everyone should visit Rock Bottom once or twice.
It is a great reminder of how amazing it is to be alive.
The most dazzling sight can be found at Rock Bottom’s pit,
just tilt your head up and you can see it.
A beacon of light that will sting your eyes,
rainbows that magically crystallize.
So, If you ever find yourself hitting Rock Bottom,
take heed that this is not an unfix-able problem.
Do not let yourself become distraught,
observe the lessons that will be taught.
Learn from them and let yourself grow,
to that beacon of light with the magnetic glow.
