Down, down, down—
That’s the only direction
There is to go
Once the light is out.
Down, down, down—
That’s the only direction
There is to go
When everything is wrong.
Down, down, down—
That’s the only direction
There is to go
After losing hope.
Down, down, down—
That’s the only direction
There is to go
Until you turn around.
I liked the rhythm of this poem. Great job!
Thank you!
And turning around is all that matters at that point…
Yes, it really is.
very effective and the last line turns it all around.
Thanks, Don!
You should set this to music. I can feel the beat as I read it. Great writing.
Thank you. I would if I were a skilled musician!
i love this. its so open and real. its simple, but its a task that not many people know how to do, to just turn around. i love this.
Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
Until you turn around. Put at just the right place. And said so simply…because really that’s how it is – you have to turn around, change it, do something.
My problem is that I keep turning in circles I believe…
Thank you so much! And yes, a circle is a bad place to be, considering it’s never-ending…
