Sometimes the ground I am standing on
Feels so unsure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
As the being in me quakes
With the fear of making a mistake
Or feeling the weakness of
My soul’s deliberation
Sometimes complete isolation
Or hibernation
Feels the safer bet
In a world where each passing impulse
Followed
So often led to ruin
And then sometimes
It is only when the complete foundation
Utterly disappears
That life feels most real
And I find my true soul
Home again
Here within the open field
Of a far far clearer understanding
