descent

the earth stands upon columns 
supported by water
found in the mountains
sustained by the air
enclosed within the storm
that god holds in his arms.

i stepped off of the 6th rung..
just turned around from on high
and
stepped
right
off....
the ladder ~
as if i could walk on thin aire..
as if thin aire would hold me..
as if i was made of cotton candy...
none of the above are true.


if you're holding on to something,
it's hard to let go ~
