Slow and Steady (with words)
my body yearns to break as i stretch across the couch
the clouds as heavy weights block it all as i look out.
i dream of gliding in between layers of silky waters
that great star of fire burning through the hours
and the hot rain playing pitter patter on my stomach,
when i close my eyes and realize that i own it
i am the graceful mother at her finest twilight hour
swimming in embrace and my own unrealized power
i become her own and learn to breathe in water
as her downpour edges towards my lungs and determines to get farther
and her palm slips under my head and whispers in my ear
i am the voice that calls beyond the mirror
i hold it all but this capsule feels flimsy from inside
so for now i sleep with hope
and my only source of pride
i pray to drift me to another world for now
as she fits back inside herself and takes a steady bow
