Swimming in the syrup calm of now
When life flipped I found myself gulping down the sweetnesses around me
Now I’m left sprawled naked and sugar hyper on the floor of my mind
Staring at the dark above
Wondering how I missed that the glow I had been basking in had been mine all along
A slow fire flickering back in my heart
I’ll warm the crystal sweetness and have my amber lake again
Next time I’ll remember the trick
Life tilts
Don’t panic and drown in it

Swimming in the syrup calm of now
When life flipped I found myself gulping down the sweetnesses around me
Now I’m left sprawled naked and sugar hyper on the floor of my mind
Staring at the dark above
Wondering how I missed that the glow I had been basking in had been mine all along
A slow fire flickering back in my heart
I’ll warm the crystal sweetness and have my amber lake again
Next time I’ll remember the trick
Life tilts
Don’t panic and drown in it
