Falling

The future, such a perilous decent

there is no return from the abyss

a fall from birth, to life\'s mist below

Placental security I miss

 

Past the point of no return

I teeter back into the chasm

At the balancing point of equilibrium

ledge slick, grip slipping, a spasm

 

A sense of falling in my gut

back arched, head thrown back to the sky

arms flailing, a sense of sailing

all this with me soon will die

 

I emit a single tear

desperate, at anything I clasp

I belch out a cry of fear

I clutch at hope, but only air I gasp

 

The fall will do no harm

wind rushes past as I drop

I try to turn to see what\'s ahead

The danger is in the sudden stop
