Just for now I'm stuck

Grounded standing

Tall but wobbly

Still here


Look at me stay

Stare when I go

Just

For now I'm stuck


Sticky are my feet

This muddy soil

Smashed between

Toes latched into

Like a wet lollipop in my hair

Just for now

I'm stuck


At least I know where I stand

Proud

Today and tomorrow

Sun sets my feet sore

Hold hope on this

knowing one day

Just then I won't be

Stuck


The view is good

The work is hard

Who is to make it

Said it that I won't

Make it

But I'm here now

On good ground

Muddy it may be

Just for now I'm stuck

A spectacle

More I will be

When I am Free
