Grounded Life

Solitude in a crowd
Space to clear my mind
Remembering the important
Seeking only to find
Silence has been waiting all along

Far above the clouds
It seems at this height
I am reminded of the big picture
Though we travel by night
The darkest black I've ever seen

I live with impatience
Choose a frown over a smile
Take love for granted
Gratitude only once in a while
For blessings I've been given

No reason for negativity
How can I be down
Don't deserve what I've been given
Not right to wear a frown
My life I did not design

The air pressure is dropping
The plane begins to shake
Touchdown is eminent
But one thing I will take
A new perspective on my grounded life
