Grounding
  I think the ground beneath my feet was trying to tell me something earlier today.
  I felt it tremble, and all seemed array.
  The ground pulled me down below,
  I felt the gravel encase me so,
  I stopped fighting to escape.
  It was far too late.
  Down in a spiral, I did go.
  To which I did not know,
  Whether I'd see the surface again.
  But I worried not,
  Because I soon fell upon a hidden glen.
  The water refreshed me.
  I felt more thirsty than I've ever been,
  And when I tried to leave, it charged me a fee.
  A fee I couldn't pay, and an argument I couldn't win.
  The ground shook once more.
  It shot me up,
  To the surface,
  I went.
  The ground felt colder than its ever been before.
  So much so that I couldn't help but implore.
  But the ground remained silent,
  And we were strangers once more.
