descent

you held me in the palm of your hand
the power i had diminished
which fed into my grounding
no grass, no sand, no dirt, no land

no solid surface to stand upon
no wings. I cannot fly
no voice for sharing. silenced
when will a new day dawn?

my body shakes and quivers
night spreads across the sky
forever’s not a promise
but i dream he still delivers

each time, i fade a little more
i’m not myself these days
my soul can’t reach the surface
what am i living for?
