Sometimes
Even in the darkest times
All I need
To keep me grounded
Is a centre line
Through open country

Sometimes
Even in the darkest times
All I need
To keep me grounded
Is a centre line
Through open country
Every now and again
Quite often, to be honest
It’s important to just stop
Interrupt the flow
Of negativity
And touch Earth
Literally and figuratively
Grounding
Being grounded
Is of itself no map for the lost
But if my feet aren’t on the ground
Then no map can guide me
Nor can I find my way
Except
Perhaps
Sunrise
Always reaching
Heaven bound
Leave my feet
Back on the ground
Flights of fancy
In the sky
Hug the Earth
And breathe a sigh
Love puts the ground under my feet
The skip in my step
The stars in my sky
The hope in my heart
