To rise
Nick Rigby Jun 2018
He starts off on top,
Not knowing what he's worth as he's moving,
Constantly moving up,
Afraid he is falling down he always moves up,
He finds wonders that tell him he's made it,
He is there,
He takes the plunge because it was written,
Not sure if it will bring pain or fortune,
When he realizes the terror below,
He's inches from the bottom,
All music halts,
He gathers himself around the center,
Rises with the heat,
Feeling good,
Taking on the demons one at a time,
Till they take forms he doesn't know,
Till that time he goes up,
Not knowing that he knows,
He's living the dream,
Focused on the misery,
Raise your eyebrows,
He learns to see,
With eyes that can really see,
He finds his way slowly back to the top

We must travel the path
Traversing from one paradox to the next
Pushing through our natural hesitation
With the help of our natural curiosity
Our natural drive to see more, feel more, be more

Connected

You take a deep breath, Lungs swelling with new life, The diffusion of energy, The beautiful decay and release, Bringing you closer, Till you reach the pinnacle of existence, Where it all began, Where it will end, Where you will find it, That insatiable symbiosis, The wonderful paradox. You exhale.

Love?
Nick Rigby Dec 2020
I dont know what I am falling in,
Is this the feeling that is so cherished by all,
Is this the thing that mesmerizes and baffles?
I feel it, I know I feel it,
But then it turns it's ugly head and strikes,
One,
Two,
Please stop,
Three,
I reach out for anything,
Scraping the walls,
The pain is put aside,
I need out,
But the tiniest of beats grows from memories,
Lives off emotions,
Becomes dreams.
