floating

We just keep going
even when everything slips away

We just keep going
because it’s going to get better

and life will slip back in
and our feet will touch the ground again
and we’ll stop thinking so much
about what it all means again
and it won’t all feel so confusing again

this being human
this living
this being

it’ll be easy again
to just go
to just keep on keepin’ on

to not wonder about the
balance between life
and survival and whether
we can hang in there
long enough for them
to come together

The ease of doing
what must be done
will return,
certainly,
surely,
it will return.
