Carey Clayton — Vultures

Intend for it to go perfect Accordingly to plan But when it’s all upended you just do the best you can Take it all in stride with every step along the way Cherish every breath that helps you Make it through the day Past the point of no returning Hoping to go back Misplaced reminiscing Is a danger to adapt Saying that it’s the new normal Doesn’t help it sit Believing there’s a light beyond Is how We get through it If it’s just beginning people Act like it’s the end Circling around the fears Like Vultures thoughts descend Struggle lies with in to keep Our eyes from seeing waste Holding on to what is truth With calm and with grace
