how do people fall
is it with a mighty jump
speeding into the heavens
or a tiny jump
with no place to land
can we take a step
and start flying forver
or is that too much
for our human bodies to stand
we can be free with our minds
hearts and spirits
soaring into the pit of darkness
to end in the light
we could leave in the dusk of autumn
and arrive in the new spring
strip free of the weights
that hold down our lives
i know now the truth
is out there waiting
just hold your breath
and you will be there.
