The Ground Beneath My Feet

I step where the quiet shifts Where the ground speaks under skin No light ever showed me this Still I know where I have been You look for a clearer sky Climb away from what you feel I stayed where the pressure lies Where the unseen turns to real I walk beneath the shadow cast But I don’t fear what’s on my path The dark is only falling from The heights you chose to stand upon I don’t need eyes to find my way I feel the truth in every step I take You fear the shape that moves below I feel the place it’s coming from Borrowed sight built higher walls But numbed the signal in your chest You rose above it all I stayed where truth could press There’s movement in the low There’s silence in the climb You left the only road That could have made you mine I walk with my eyes wide shut, feel every rise, every cut The ground doesn’t lie, it adjusts, truth in my step, it responds to my touch No need for the light or the rush, no need for the height you construct I move and the valley moves back, every reaction is lined up with trust I step and it echoes in kind, pressure aligning the path in my stride Nothing above can decide what is real when it’s felt from inside You reach for a view to define, I let the terrain redefine Every direction I take is corrected the moment I’m out of the line The ground only answers when truth is the question I’m asking I walk beneath the shadow cast But I don’t fear what’s on my path The dark is only falling from The heights you chose to stand upon I don’t need eyes to find my way I feel the truth in every step I take You fear the shape that moves below I feel the place it’s coming from I don’t see it I receive it In the ground beneath my feet Every echo Every pressure Tells me where I need to be I walk beneath the shadow cast And let it fall, it never lasts No death lives where I choose to be Just what the still refuse to see I don’t need sight to understand The truth is written in the land You fear the dark that’s moving slow I feel the height it’s falling from
