Learning to Grow

Artificial light staves off madness;
the sun sinks below fading sheets.
Too soon to save your soul’s sanity;
she teases and tricks the mind.
A total collapse happens at the knees;
a circulating weakness consumes your chest.
The weight of a closing door echoes;
the relentless gravity of life.

Your heart in your hands;
Your face on the floor.
The chill of tears on cold tile;
the emotional exorcism of your soul.
The first conscious breathe;
the clarity of emptiness.
The will of your broken body aches;
the relentless gravity of life.

Stand, talk, amuse;
relearning the minimum requirements.
Play, read, explore;
rediscovering supreme happiness.
Live, Love, let go;
relaxing and letting it ride.
Dream, hope, soar;
the relenting gravity of life.
