Cause and effect,
it's reliable.
Often predictable.
But you know how I like to play my games.

I lost all my problems on a long journey through an undiscovered swamp in the forest at the back of my everything.
I'd sink until I was warm and when I was ready:
I'd let go of a thought that I forgot I was holding,
And the heavy world falls so fast from me that I shot into the air and fed myself with what the trees offered.
It would be like I was falling for so long.

But reliability can be a wake-up call,
Cause and effect,
I descend.

I choose the law of averages in this moment,
Equal values: not the sky but not the depths of the familiar muck.
I land.
I walk on marshes now.
If I get too heavy, I sink until I am warm again,
Let go and soar into another moment of satisafaction,
Of amazement,
Of gratitude - again.

Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you.
