How Do I Fall?
I cannot rest
I dream and dream
But you are far
Just images of you
A recollection
In sunlight
Leaves and shadows
I sense the time
Before the fall
I climbed this hill
To search for you again
I am running
Towards the edge
Towards tomorrow
How do I fall?
And when?
Heart pounding
Hurtling through the heavens
In the blue wind
I shall melt
And vanish away in the dark
In silent wonder
In that moment
When sleep
Becomes a shoreless ocean
I almost always
Lose myself
And I always forget
That I can never
Find my way back
