I didn’t die from heartache
as I thought I one day would
I simply lost control
of that thing inside called “soul”
not home receiving as the norm
but exploring time and space
and finding there a hand to hold
forever and a day.

Now back like a truant child
and with nothing else to do
we found the note, cleaned the slate,
and recalled the way it was
till eventide bespoke the truth
and the trash can overfilled.

Such is the way
when love looses hand-holds
and papier mache figurines
collapse under the weight
of layers and more layers
of glue that will not stick.

Surrounded, we’re surrounded,
soul and I as one,
with memories of the fall,
the longest fall of all,
the desperate spin internally
to get to where you are,
and the thrill, oh, the thrill
of joining in it all.

Not yet is soul’s fate sealed
but I have somewhere a hammer
today I bought the nails
and ready and prepared
is more than yesterday!

I don't think anyone could articulate it better then this

and this...

Surrounded, we’re surrounded,
soul and I as one,
with memories of the fall,
the longest fall of all,
the desperate spin internally
to get to where you are,
and the thrill, oh, the thrill
of joining in it all.

How literally free of expectation..to submit, to marvel and bath in these falls are a genuine tresure trove!

Gloious writing!

Thanks, LeeJ, for your kind comment. Sometimes "falls" aren't what we think they are but either way we still drop.
