Stepped into darkness Walked off the pier Fell into the abyss Slid into the mere. Was I lost or just being found As I slid from the miry ground Was all going to end Or beginning once again? Who knows I thought As I flew into the mist. When life hits me broadside When a nose-dive I take It might not be a choice And not a mistake Falling could be a handle To access the well of life When I get real thirsty While I get super tired. The answers are way up high and way down below When I cry in the night And fly through the air To places that are unknown To where I don’t dare. I might get some answers and Maybe I’ll grow It’s all of my journey One day I will know. Lift up from the slip It’s just another step. — Slips
