Feeling down
Not wanting
To get up
Not wanting
To move around
Invisible anchors
Formed as thoughts
Creating feelings
Pressing inward
Surrounding my heart
Squeezing
Pulling downward
Trying to quench hope
Trying to stop
Spiritual growth
Finally manage
To open a door
To get outside
To see and feel
The light
Brilliantly calling
Beauty unmistakable
Cuts the anchors chains
Spirit breaks free
Dark thoughts that bind
Falling away
Lord, thank You
For this life changing day
