I want to walk side by side with my sisters and brothers,

But, to an issue my mind clutches.

I can’t hold onto my form,

And not before long.

I slip and slide in life’s rushes,

And I go like water over the fall, my mind mushes.

For a second I just want to stop and live,

Like when writers block hits.

A knot steals my gut,

And I get stuck back in my rut.

Now, a feeling of being pulled through,

To a world I could sense, but never knew.

The world storm raging on outside,

Could be worse than the one going on inside my mind.

I evolve by repetition,

Though the world that we live in.

Has put everything into position,

For that to happen.

So, it is hard to tell if I’m falling,

Or navigating the rapids that life brings.

I just know I want to enjoy where we are,

Just because the world can be hard.

And right now I feel I can be calm,

Because every life has travelled so far,

To lay beneath the stars,

And rest our heavy hearts.
