Falling -
Leaving -
Falling -
Not breathing.
Breathe not ... Breathe do not!
What was last, nothing surpassed
Born believing, all concealing
Conceived at birth, fully immersed
Immersed in the love, from the hands above
And raised to rise, of the seas comprised.
And now I’m -
falling -
leaving -
falling -
not breathing.
From the heavens I descend, awakening again.
Listening to a call I wilded to a fall,
Cared not to care and dive today’s dare.
Dare I cast my sight to the past
For the past, now the lair, from which I swear ...
And now I’m -
falling -
leaving -
falling -
not breathing.
Can I last as the waters go past?
Inhaling the taste I act with haste
Sally the edge and jump life’s ledge,
For I to quench this wondrous drench,
With a splash, no normal crash.
And now I’m -
falling -
leaving -
falling -
breathing!
To secede from my earthly deed.
Beautifully falling, some thought appalling
Received the chance and committed the dance
Blessed by ocean breeze, I soared with ease
And threw to the wind, all worries and sin.
And now I’m -
falling -
leaving -
falling -
not breathing.
So not to expel the breath that compelled.
