Nothing is Everything

When you lie on the floor

I can see clearly

For the air is much lighter

When your down, down below



The freedom of feeling

It's down by the willows

That's where you'll find

All the time that's been crusting



Down on the floor of the ocean

Threaded and golden, silver and dark

Millions of feelings down by the ark

Where oysters and lobsters and scallops too



Try to find feeling far away from the moon

They search low, crevices largely

For beauty in feeling and never know why

The sun keeps on beaming



Destroying the air

That helps us all breathe

'Cuz we know nobody's there

So we lay down



Tired

Feeling like angels

Knowing we're higher

Just 'cuz we're down here



But out there

Life's stronger

It's moving at millions

Of lightyears, pushing us down



And now that we're down here

We might think we've found it

But find out that

Resisting



Is what makes us here.

This is awesome. Finally, a poem that does not reek of suck.
