Wednesday Song

Falling Girl by JMonzani at deviantart


There are many ways to catch someone who is falling:

The sister reaches for her sister’s hand.
The woman in the office sees a tear and offers her shoulder.
The part-time colleague sings, recites a poem, in perfect time.
A stranger’s hand, extended.

There are many ways to fall:

Un-noticed, uncomplaining.
Uptight, wedged–in, unable to say one word:
Help.
Screaming til the neighbours hear
Not knowing that you fall at all.

In my heart, a grain of fear becomes as large as a planet,
it mingles with my history:
creates a tide, a shore, an ocean.

'As you move through life, set aside good ideas and give them to others to encourage and inspire' (Daniels)

'When you are exhausted from trying, try just one more time' (Feros)

'Life does not offer what you deserve, life offers you what you demand' (Olabode)

Finally-
