firmly planted

not knowing until now that i was so engaged
every shift in the emotional tide
thinking my head was so high above the clouds
never wanting that downward ride
i always thought i would continue my flight
and you'd have my feet
soaring higher to take us where we can be us
blindly flowing warnings beneath
i want to go, please just a bit more
reach back and grab your hand
wait, slow down. but so close to it all
we can just see it all, so grand
rub my eyes
shake my head
alone and here
lying in bed.
