Sinking

I don’t want to dwell on these things

But lately when the sinking comes

Memories flow through in waves

As they did last night

Perhaps it is always this way

We torture ourselves about a past

We could not change

And sometimes we forget to remember

How far we have come

You always tell me to

Hold onto my goodness

I see I never valued myself enough

Before

I know that it would be impossible for me

To feel this deeply

If my soul did not know what true love and beauty

Really is

So tonight I must remember that

And not allow the stone of sorrow

To allow my soul to sink

To helpless depths

For when I pray

Surely

The love of the Universe

And all of the angels is never really

Far away
