Am amazed

sometimes
when the ebb of life ,
is so low
down low i mean
when my spirit dives down
and sinks low
when it gets crashed in the corals
when my spirit cries
and wails
be it in sadness
or just another down moment
am amazed at what it takes
for it to rise to its better highs

it doesn't take winning a jackpot
it may mean a good word yeah.
spoken by a good friend ...
or by a not so good friend
yes
in unlikely quarters it may emerge
and be the anchor,
that takes me to higher ground
to safety ground
and so when i am down low
i don't keep looking down
because angels appear from above
It only takes one winning thought
one action from so many potent.
am amazed by these things
i will never cease to be amazed
even when am down
down here.
