i trusted the earth
to catch me as i plummeted
my wings dissolving
when i realized
i had no instinct
to soar
i was not disappointed
in her embrace
Tag: falling
leaves ( 20160829)
trees shaken by breezes
in summer when shadows
are crisp
in fall
when clouds hide
our other selves
books opened
favored passages
corners dog-eared
your love
in spring when belief
is easy
in winter when the leaves
are moldy memories stuck
to shoes
