A Walk Against the Tide

My feet clatter onto a post of dreaded waters
being pulled with heavy anchors on my feet
the tide rushing into the opposite of where I wish to travel
Save the light inside of me sweet soul
for the currents have pulled me into a tavern of unlit skies
where the old pains and old cries and old tides
keep reaching at my sides
as if the other I's have taken over
and pull me into a side where a sleeping crow would go

today as I wake up, I feel the pull
the pull to go back to sleep
the pull to wave my hands across my eyes
as not to deal with the surging tide that moves against me

Sweep to find the immortal self in a job of cleaning that once seemed to be mine
yet all the dust has risen and I am left unsettled and refined
close the doors of envy
and all the traits that stand in the way of man
Asleep is where they find us
we need a helping hand.

Synopsis:
Maybe a full moon occuring or what... lol.  But today is a day where I feel that I am really against the current of where I wish to rise above.  This is also a prayer... for when we get so deep in our old ways that keep us asleep, we need to surrender and call to the higher.  This is also a way of release.  for writing is a way of moving our energy.
