A Moment to Fall


A Moment to Fall Frigid air touches me with an invisible hand, For this is more than I can withstand. Wings, wings of an Angel cascade down my back, They keep me warm, but there's something I lack. My feet are cold and I'm petrified, I couldn't move even if I tried. Nostalgia embraces me, I'm not going to lie. I don't want to move or let go of the past, There are not enough moments to make it last. I'm scared and the only place I can escape is by dreaming, I'm afraid if I let go I shall lose all meaning. As I stare down at the excruciating height, I pull in a breath of the cold fall night. My days of watching time and light I recall, I spread my wings and jump, with no time to stall. Now the question is, Will I land? Or will I fall?
