when i was six i played a game
i'd stand in grass and spin around
arms out wide round and round
falling softly on the ground
i'd look into sky of blue
and pillow clouds floating through

while the sky was spinning circles
inside my head i felt so dizzy
staring up i found connection
i felt god reaching down

in those moments i left the earth
floating on the hand of god
i learned of peace
i knew the silence
forever connected
to a loving presence

in my life at only six
painful days and tear filled nights
i found inside i could escape
within the swirl i found that day
