the weight of a thousand capacities
is what I carry in my heart
it must be the strength of my capillaries
allowing me to accomplish this art
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
the depths of me seem to swell up
and the waves bring me to my knees
it’s really a miracle I don’t erupt
when the current never seems to seize
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
because The Moon has been watching
making sure that my shores are safe
and just before I start falling
He catches me in His grace.
