It feels like falling
It feels like rain
Like losing my balance
Again and again
It once was so easy;
Breathe in. breathe out
But at the foot of this mountain
I only see clouds
I feel out of focus
Or at least indisposed
As this strange weather pattern
Inside me takes hold
Each brave step forward
I take three steps behind
It's mind over matter -
Matter over mind
Slowly
Then all at once
A single loose thread
And it all comes undone
Where there is light
A shadow appears
The cause and effect
When life interferes
The same rule applies
To goodness and grief;
For in our great sorrow
We learn what joy means
I don't want to fight
I don't want to fight it
But I will learn to fight
I will learn fight
'til this pendulum finds equilibrium
Slowly
Then all at once
The dark clouds depart
And the damage is done
So pardon the dust
While this all settles in
With a broken heart
Transformation begins
