Falling, A Letter For You


It’s all about Falling. Either too hard, Or too fast. Following a pattern, Again And Again. But unlike snow, Floating lightly Or rain, Pelting harshly It doesn’t come with a season. My falling is year round, You don’t come And go. You aren’t the leaves that change colors, The ones that drift In twirls Toward the ground. You’re the stars, Not always seen But there, Always. No one ever told me That once I fell, I could keep Falling. Every day, Sinking deeper And deeper I’m quicksand, Moving Constantly. Endlessly, Unexpectedly, Unknowingly, Falling. I don’t want it to be over, I want it to last Because with each Fall I’m one Fall Closer, To you.
