Spinning the Way Home

I chose the downward
As I looked upward
I forgot about the ground
I listened to the river in the wind
And I noticed that I was singing
I was singing

Turning around so quickly
I forgot where I was
I made myself dizzy
As I kept turning
Because I didn’t want to settle in one place

Again

I use the sunlight as a way
To find my shadows
And seek them out
Letting them follow me
As I run
As I spin
As I forget
What it means to see
As I forget 
What it means when I open my eyes

And really notice myself

When I catch a glimpse of myself
Across a crowded room
The room that’s filled with
Excuses
Explanations
And wasted moments

I whisper in my own ear
That I’d like to take myself home
That I’d like to get to know myself more

And I grab my coat
I take my hand
I follow myself out
I follow myself home
