A lump of coal Tossed into the fire Before it even stood a chance Of becoming a diamond And all it needed was time

If I was a mountain That soared towards the sky, With craggy snow caps And stormy grey eyes- Then you'd be the clouds That swaddled my peak, That silenced my thunder When I tried to speak. If I was the earth The desert, in fact: With arid dry soil And mud, baked and cracked- You'd be the rain The downpour that soothed; The balm to my bruises, Relief to my wounds. If I was the Moon In the indigo night, With stars as my blanket And silver; my light- Well you'd be the Sun Just always behind That lent me your glow And caused me to shine.

Metaphors
Falling Falling As I fall, relief crashes over in a wave Bundling up in warmth, I’m in my personal cave Falling Falling Anxiously waiting to fall into the abyss On my forehead, I feel the feather of a kiss Falling Falling Slowly losing consciousness I do not frown Sinking like an anchor down, down, down Falling Falling It’s here. I’ve been waiting for so long The stress slips away, and I hear an angel’s song Falling Falling And as I count my last sheep, I finally fall asleep.
