Falling from Up

When I'm in the sky
I always feel that
i am going to fall

I look down down below
and something in me says
"You're going to fall"

But it's not
a fear
no
it's more of
An Expectation

It doesn't scare me
it's always just a blink
in my thoughts

The ground seems close
and far away
all at once

"The ground pulls
at my feet"

Being sucked towards the earth
just makes sense

But I stay afloat in the clouds
Always expecting the crash
Always sailing on into the sunset
Always staring at the ground
waiting and waiting
for me to hit it

Goodbye

Up on the hill again,
sand at their feet,
the falling sun in their eyes

Orange was never brighter,
purple was never deeper,
the explosion was never louder

Their whispers nor their smiles
could have been softer
as they watched the fall

She held tighter
so he held on
to not let go

But he did
let go,
just as the sun hit the hills

Then just him and
sand between his fingers
watched the light flicker and fall

He walked from the hill
with the moon in his eyes
and sand trailing from his hands
