Back To Standing by Rachel Taulbee published on 2020-07-28T00:31:08Z Back to Standing by Rachel Taulbee written for the Fearless Songwriter Challenge 7/27/2020 Prompt: How the Ground Pushes Back you were born in the morning the sun taught you how to rise into a sky just like your eyes, big and blue that same sun dips down in the evening back behind the clouds it wears as a disguise, full of color and demise until it rises up again its a natural cycle, so if you start to descend and it feels like the end, just remember when gravity gets you down pushes you on the ground let the ground push you back to standing it’s beautiful thing to be alive even when you have to strive to get by, or get what you want when you fail, there’s a lesson to be learned a message to be earned, if you can take it it can cut deep down into your memory to something or someone who you loved when its time to let go of what you needed to know to get around let the ground push you back to standing in the autumn the leaves fall, the flowers droop down, turn to yellow and to brown, sink into the earth it’s in that dark damp soil where death becomes life and its goes around and around and around and around when gravity gets you down pushes you on the ground let the ground push you back to standing you were born in the morning the sun taught you how to rise Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter
