Higher Ground

Tears have their place

in sorrow

or overwhelming joy

but when a lake forms

about your feet

and every end

is the deep end

and you've forgotten 

how to swim

when salt burns

and blinds you

it's time to find

a higher ground

A better place

It's there!

Look above your head

above the low black clouds

It's right there!

The sun still shines

even when it rains

You still live

and love

There is always hope

for a better tomorrow

but sometimes

you have to fight

for your very life

to find it
