Often I am leaning

one way or another

 

Often I have fallen

down on those

deemed as Darwin

 

Often I have swayed

beside those

Shepherds at the Stable

 

Often I have observed

those which gravity effects

are real, are compressed

are focused, are subtly

sapped

 

Often I have seen

those seeking clouds

are ideal, are agate

are listening, are subtly

content

 

It makes me wonder;

if I were to trick

my mind into Light

while I knew it was night,

would my eyes be less heavy?

Would I fall asleep

ripe?

The inspiration for this piece was my internal search for a faith I can honestly believe in.
