Saturday Poetry

So, I'll cheese out for today's post and share something that came to me this week.
It is (as nearly always) and unfinished piece, and maybe someday......

SLIPPING BACK
As water trickles through it grows
No need for big ass floods
As love nurishes me, I know
To rise out of the mudd

In which I wallow
Daily, hollow
Getting nowhere
Wanting somewhere

Now, it's greater than I can forsee
It's everything that I believe and more
Not something to deceive I can't
Even imagine slipping back

As lifeblood flows, the souls alive
No need for sacrifice
It courses through, beyond me thrives
And feeds me with the life

Which I deny
I break I hide
Deep down inside
Now can't deny that

It's greater than I can forsee
It's everything that I believe and more
Not something to deceive I can't
Even imagine slipping back

Slipping back a slippery slope
Slipping back a tightening rope
Around my neck, around my thoughts
Of slipping back and staying lost
