The Time I Fell

falling was easy

my body floated like a feather

plucked from the wing of an angel

the rush of wind was a beautiful hymn

falling was slow

time moved like honey

it dripped into my mouth and made everything sweeter

falling was scary

I couldn’t see the ground one minute I was in the air

the next I was on the ground

getting back up and having the courage to fall again that’s hard that’s the problem that takes strength
