Everything is Upside down

[Steerpike]

Everything is Upside down

My shirt is wet with the wave of you
Skirting the bottom and the darkness of Perdition
Turned like a lizard and seemingly dazed by the light
The bottom is upside and the iniquity of my soul is confounded

Swept like an ant, upended and displaced
Like an image of yin and yang circling the brim threatening to fall
The black pit vanishes and sky blue blinds my eyes
you are the wind that blew me upright as the mud flowed beneath and settled

Corneal white and smells of Butterflies
Salty foam and the cool breeze of soft delight with laughs loveliness
I have been floated upwards away from confusion
Delighting in innocence and the Highness of my soul

Delivered and led from the sadness that is the human condition
Heaven sent you to free me, becouse i could not do it myself
Like a Mastodon in a tar pit...sinking
I required you to be there and without effort like an angel you raised my heart

Reach for paradise and you may fall short
Neigh impossible to aspire in loneliness for Shangi-La
Aided by Angels, paradise is within all our grasp
So I traversed the wheel from darkness to heaven and never looked down...for the rest of my life

Great poem.
