DO YOU EVER WISH YOU COULD FLY?

Do you ever wish you could fly?
Not fly upwards
Down
wards
Live
in the perpetual
falling
Exist in that
freedom
Where no one can bind you
Only join you
Revel
in the falling
with you
Where your mind trails out behind you
Faster and faster
Escaping
from you, from the world
And the chaos,
the carnage, the cutting passion for things you don’t want
They all just d i s s o l v e
First into nothing
And then into calm
And the wind is so loud you can’t hear your own thoughts
Hear them racing faster than you fall
You know you might die
Eventually
At the end of your fall
But isn’t that life?
One big fall into nothing?
Or something…
At least this fall doesn’t hurt on the way down
At least this fall isn’t static, stationary, stuck
You can finally breathe
Without the tension in your head
You can finally see
When the wind’s too fast for the tears to cling
To your eyes
And the gravity strong,
like a mother’s embrace,
like your mother’s embrace
As she’s pulling you in,
It’s electrifying, it’s passion
It’s every sense in your body alive
As you plummet with a smile.
All you have to do
is
step off the ledge
