I catch myself shuffling when I walk
Downcast
Down hearted
Lower than that
I am sinking into the earth
One step after another until I am there
Among the rocks
At the bottom
Of forever
The infinite is here within
Each step
Raised and lowered
Feet and eyes
I cannot look up
Until the sun cuts through
The clouds
Until I see blue blue
Reach for me
I have gone nowhere but down
The sun has pulled the clouds between us
Every day now colorless
Reach for me
Let there be color in this world
Let there be light
Let heaven descend once more
Remind me I am made of dust
Reflecting the center of my solar system
I step and straighten
Outside held up by force of will
To stand tall and be proud
My eyes still meet the ground
Begging for shelter
To not be left out alone in the rain
I dance
My eyes meet the ground
I close them and raise my face to the rain
I am quenched and drenched
Dancing and hoping for brighter skies
A break in the clouds
A respite from the torrent
To try again
To wrest joy from circumstances
Dim
