Planetary Shift

Folder: 
Personal (Hope)

I had begun a downward spiral,
drawn by the magnetism
of isolation.

 

Gravity overwhelmed me
and pulled me into
the molten core of myself
that burned my insides.

 

You lifted me out
and stopped me from
this self-destructive trajectory.

 

You adjusted my compass
so that I was directed towards North
instead of being attracted
to a orbit of loneliness.

 

Sometimes all you need
is a shift in perspective
to flip the world as you knew it
off its axis.

 

Now my vision is focused
on the celestials,
restoring my outlook
to be inclined nearer to hope.
